In percentage terms this is
Five Independents 73%, SNP 15%, Lab 9%, Con 3%.
Under new arrangements for the publication of information from electronic counts in Scotland, the Returning Officer published a detailed report of the first preferences by ballot box, aggregating smaller boxes to preserve the confidentiality of individual votes. This report enables us to calculate the overall result across ten groups of polling districts as follows:
Polling District C04A (Castletown):
Five Independents 194, SNP 58, Lab 26, Con 5 (Total 283)
Five Independents 69%, SNP 20%, Lab 9%, Con 2%.

Polling Districts C04F (Dunnet):
Five Independents 169, SNP 34, Lab 11, Con 4 (Total 218)
Five Independents 78%, SNP 16%, Lab 5%, Con 2%.
Polling Districts C04H and C04I (Keiss and Reiss):
Five Independents 200, SNP 44, Lab 18, Con 5 (Total 267)
Five Independents 75%, SNP 16%, Lab 7%, Con 2%.
Polling Districts C04J, C04K and C04M (part of Wick, Thrumster and Dunbeath):
Five Independents 219, SNP 60, Lab 19, Con 8 (Total 306)
Five Independents 72%, SNP 20%, Lab 6%, Con 3%.
Polling Districts C04L (Lybster):

Also a by election in Kingswell ward, Gedling District Council. A split ward - one Lab & one Con - the Lab guy has resigned - he would have been a surprise winner in 2011 when Labour did even better than in the 1995 elections.

21 year old Labour Welwyn Hatfield Councillor Ben Yetts has resigned his Haldens ward seat forcing a by election on 2 May. It's a great shame that the very few younger councillors we have in the country, dwindles over the municiple years. Welwyn HatfieldSuprised there is still any labour councilors left around there with at which rate the parliamentary seat is rapidly becoming a very safe tory seat. |

There were very few left by about 2008 but they've made a half decent recovery in the area, in contrast to Hemel Hempstead where they now have only one councillor. They've no county councillors currently but expect that to change in May

An election has been called in Digmoor, one of the Skelmersdale wards of South Lancashire Borough, the seat held previously by jacqueline Coyle (Lab) (retires 2015). West Lancashire not South Lancashire, although neither designation is entirely accurate. (I think it was named that way because Ormskirk and Skelmersdale are chalk and cheese, and naming it after either would mortally offend the other) |
