Talking of wards that have regular by-elections ...

[listener]

There were 35 local government by-elections on 12 December 2019.

[wickofthesouth]

Brighton and Hove, Brunswick and Adelaide (2027), Jilly Stevens (Lab) has resigned due to ill health.

That makes 4 by-elections in 8 months. If they carry on like this they will have cycled through the entire council by the time we get to the next elections.

Kingston-upon-Thames, Hook & Chessington North (2026). Steph Archer (Liberal Democrat) has resigned.

Also Suffolk, Pakefield (2027). They've currently uploaded the 2023 Woodbridge notice of election by mistake, but I'm pretty confident this will also be due to Craig Rivett.

South Gloucestershire, Kingswood (2027). [unknown] (Labour) has resigned. I presume this is Leigh Ingham who is the Labour PPC for Stafford.

[carolus]

Middlesbrough, Acklam (2027). [unknown] (unknown) has <unknown>
Middlesbrough, Central (2027). [unknown] (Labour) has <unknown> Matt Storey (Labour) has resigned after becoming Cleveland PCC.

I realised the Central one was posted earlier as Matt Storey after having been elected PCC in May. Acklam is split 1 Lab, 1 LD, but I'm not sure which one has caused the vacancy.
