Callton Young (Labour)

Peter Morgan is a prominent local campaigner on road & traffic issues, and was recently reported to have been a member of the Conservative Party and UKIP at the same time. I don't know if that means he was expelled from both, or whatever.

The by-election in the Loughton Forest ward of Epping Forest is a double vacancy.

Castle Point appear to be running the St. George's by-election separately from the planned election (Reading did it this way a few years ago).

Unless the policy has changed and I'm not aware of it, UKIP does not prohibit dual-membership.
