COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 17.09.26


It's four vacancies again this week, including a Nottinghamshire seat filled on the somewhat unorthodox polling day of Tuesday...

East Markham, Bassetlaw District Council

Ref: 436 (49.6%) New
Con: 250 (28.4%) -37.6%
Lab: 151 (17.2%) -4.1%
Grn: 42 (4.8%) New

Ref GAIN from Con

Tuesday's action was triggered by the resignation of the incumbent, for undisclosed reasons.  The Conservatives have held this single seat rural ward for almost the entirety of its existence, although the outgoing councillor served less than one term.  He easily defeated second placed Labour in 2023, garnering more than three times their vote.  The Lib Dems did not stand this time.

Karl - Con HOLD ✘
Rich - Ref GAIN ✔

Thursday's action will be previewed in the next 48 hours.
