Completely agree - Greens and LDs will throw kitchen sink at Meon Valley I don't think Meon Valley on Hampshire CC is anywhere near safe for them - look at the recent district results for its constituent wards - they may scrape home on a 3-way split vote, but it's certainly not safe... Meon Valley will be seen as a practice run for the General Election especially if the polls remain as they are. It appears to straddle the Winchester and Hamble Valley constituencies. |

It appears to straddle the Winchester and Hamble Valley constituencies. There's City Council elections there anyway so a full campaign is happening for all three parties (plus as you say the majority of the division is in Winchester constituency). |

Assuming an outgoing councillor put the formal requests for a by-election in the same envelope as their resignation, what's the absolute latest they could resign for a by-election on 2 May?

West Dunbartonshire, Clydebank Central. Clare Steel (Labour) has ceased to be a councillor. Jinxed I wanted to answer my own question about which current local authority has gone the longest period of time without a by election. Using a couple of sources including andrewteale ‘s website, I think there are 6 local councils where it is more than a decade since the last by election ( 4 of which are Scottish) East Renfrewshire- last by election June 2001 Portsmouth- Feb 2008 Inverclyde- Jun 2009 West Dunbartonshire- Mar 2011 East Dunbartonshire- Aug 2012 Rochdale- Apr 2013 After the previous confusion about West Dunbartonshire, it will soon be leaving the list. Rochdale has had a narrow escape - of course there was the parliamentary byelection, and there is a vacancy under the six month rule, but still no council byelection. |

I met her on a couple of occasions and was very impressed, seemed very bright and caring. Best of luck for whatever she is going on to. |

I met her on a couple of occasions and was very impressed, seemed very bright and caring. Best of luck for whatever she is going on to. It must be a very tough shift for anyone in a responsible position in a social care authority. And the public culture of politics has certainly coarsened since my time. Parties must struggle to attract quality candidates in these circumstances. A large part of this is a direct consequence of this government’s relentless pressure on local government, both on resources and responsibilities. It’s an easy way to both make cuts and divert responsibility for those cuts. |
