Figge's Marsh ward, Merton - Peter Walker (Lab) resigned in protest at the budget cuts to social care. Proof:  I think this may be the same Peter Walker who featured often in Labour Weekly many years ago. Never actually met him, as far as I can recall. |

The ward might at least live up to its name by electing three Independent councillors who all sit in different groups to each other.

Still shown on the council's list of councillors but I had a hint from someone who should know that a council byelection was likely in Croydon in May. |

A very reliable source has confirmed these 2 Croydon posts to me too now:
"Yes, announced to local media earlier today
Doesn’t take effect until Thurs, hence still on council website
Timed to coincide with Mayoral ballot so folks off to polls anyway…!"

I also know of a likely byelection in Hackney, and a possible one in Barnet, being planned to take place on 5 May at the same time as the GLA elections.
