Three council contests this week - two Conservative defences and one Labour defence. The Tories held in Spelthorne (Surrey) and Wychavon (Worcestershire). In the latter the Tory incumbent was previously elected unopposed. UKIP and Labour were absent in Spelthorne this time, but the Conservatives still managed to increase their vote share.
Meanwhile, Labour lost to an independent in Bridgend.
