A very competitive ward, in which I used to live for seven years. The outgoing Conservative councillor had been elected in 2015 by a mere five votes on the back of general election turnout, I believe. She ousted Independent Lynda Cromie, who came back with a vengeance by pushing incumbent Conservative Michael Walls into fourth place in 2016. Labour have had success up there in the past (though not since 1999), and Jason Smith of UKIP has come close to winning more than once as well.

Am I correct in thinking that any elections not published today will not be held on the 4th (excitedly looks forward to sparkling new 'Local by-elections after 4th May 2017' thread)
