Still don't know the reason for the Lib Dem withdrawal in Scarborough, but apparently the reason for the resignation was: "The seat became available with the resignation of Liberal Democrat councillor Geoff Evans earlier this month after he refused to apologise for calling a grandmother a “stupid cow” 18 months ago." www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/local/by-election-date-announced-1-6163099 |

The Lib Dem withdrawal in Scarborough was due to personal family issues for the candidate. I think it was a close relative who died and so they didn't want to go through an election campaign but it was after the close of nominations and so the Lib Dems couldn't put up a replacement candidate.

On 21 March 2013, the town council co-opted Ken Denton (Lab) to the vacancy in Bridge ward, following the disqualification of Nicholas Cornthwaite (Lib Dem), after he failed to attend meetings for more than six months. Ken Denton was a former Lib Dem councillor.

The current by-election has been caused by the resignation of Jeremy Lavin (Lab), who was finding council work increasingly onerous and unproductive. “My health is also not what it used to be”, he said.
The five candidates are Lib Dem, UKIP, Lab, Green Party and Con.
