Local Council by-election 30th November 2021

Yes, I had had a couple of "come and help" appeals which suggested that the local LDs were fighting it seriously, although I had no more detailed knowledge, so didn't make a comment here, but likewise pleased to see a fairly significant uptick in our vote

It was raining in Franche. A thick rain that obscured the view of the votes gradually piling up. I watched from the shadows as the returning officer emerged from behind a veil of dense smoke. No longer. No longer will the secret be kept. Soon we will know the identity of the new councillor.

Suddenly a shot rang out. Something had been perforated, and it wasn't a ballot paper.

And I understand there has been a call to hang the chads.

Could be regarded in a way as a Conservative / Ross hold since the competitive town council contest for the Franche and Habberley N ward in May 2021, with some advance for the Liberal Democrat.

Also the Worcestershire CC St Barnabas division has the same boundaries as Franche and Habberley North and was also won by David Ross in May.

There can’t be many County Divisions and district wards with the same boundaries but different names in the country.

Would adding the name of the town to the front of the division name count? If so there may be a couple of contenders in Warwickshire (though I'd have to check to see if the boundaries are exact, rather than just approximate).
