Two notices of vacancy issued by Carlisle City Council

Belle Vue ward resignation of Labour councillor Jacqui Franklin
Yewdale ward resignation of Labour councillor Tom Dodd

Two less than thoroughly safe wards and the loss of both of these would deprive Labour of their majority on Carlisle City Council

On my spreadsheet, I've just changed Carlisle from Labour to NOC, because there are now 25 Lab, 20 Tories, 4 "Others" and 1 Lib Dem.

Anne Joynes, Labour councillor for Leggatts ward, Watford BC, has resigned. She topped the poll in the ward at the all-out election last May. The vacancy is likely to be filled on 4 May:

I understand that she is not seeking re-election to Herts CC in May, having been county councillor for the Callowland-Leggatts division since 2013.
