Here is some background to the by-elections in the Central and Stoodley wards of Todmorden Town Council in the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale in West Yorkshire.
Labour are not defending their seat in Central ward and Stoodley ward is a Lib Dem gain from Con unopposed.
Todmorden Town Council comprises 18 members, elected from each of six wards as follows – Central (3), Cornholme (3), Langfield (2), Stansfield (3), Stoodley (4) and Walsden (3).
The council strengths were:
Elections on 3 May 2007: Lib Dem 17, Lab 1
Elections on 5 May 2011: Lab 8, Lib Dem 7, Con 2, Independent 1
Both Conservative councillors, Ian Cooper and Andrew Hartley, had stood without a description. Ian Cooper had been elected in 2008 as a Conservative in Todmorden ward to Calderdale Borough Council. Andrew Hartley in Walsden ward is shown as a Conservative on the town council website,
September 2012: Lab 7, Lib Dem 7, Independent 1, Con 1, Vacant 2
The Town Mayor is currently Lib Dem and the Deputy Mayor is Lab; the Chair of the General Purposes Committee is Independent and the Vice-Chair is Conservative.
The result in Central ward on 3 May 2007 was:
Lib Dem 362/335/284, Lab 317
Elected: Lib Dem 2, Lab 1
The result in Central ward on 5 May 2011 was:
Lab 369/319, Lib Dem 273/266/189, No Description 189/120
Elected: Lab 2, Lib Dem 1
The result in Stoodley ward on 3 May 2007 was:
Lib Dem 575/514/451/435, Lab 296
Elected: Lib Dem 4
The result in Stoodley ward on 5 May 2011 was:
Lib Dem 470/374/342/319, Lab 365/346/340, Con (No Description) 351, Green Party 328
Elected: Lib Dem 2, Lab 1, Con 1
The by-election on 25 October 2012 in Central ward is caused by the resignation of John Lockhart (Lab), submitted on 8 August 2012. The candidates are Independent and Lib Dem.
The by-election on 25 October 2012 in Stoodley ward is caused by the death of the Deputy Town Mayor, Ian Cooper (Con (No Description)), after a battle with cancer. A Lib Dem candidate has been returned unopposed.

There is a fifth by-election next week in the highly marginal Didcot All Saints ward of South Oxfordshire District, caused by the resignation of Terry Joslin (Lab) because of heart problems.
Terry Joslin was elected in this 2-seat ward in 2011 along with a Conservative. The second Conservative candidate was the runner up.
The candidates are Lib Dem, Lab and Con.

Joe Rez wins Todmorden Town Council by-election for Liberal Democrats. Lib Dem gain from Labour #calderdale

It's looking like the Lib Dems have taken Pinkneys Green from the Tories, in large part thanks to votes going to UKIP.

Trust me, Fenland are just pale imitators. We had a bloke take the polling box home with him whilst he went for his tea. |

At the moment, Lib Dems have won Pinkneys Green by 7 votes. But we may have a recount.
