Here’s my coverage of all the local council by-election results in Britain, updated each week as the results come in. You can track the running tally of seats changing hands in my scorecard here.
I include all principal authority by-elections (i.e. borough, district, county and unitary – plus the City of London and, if there were to be a by-election there, the Council of the Isles of Scilly). By-elections at the parish/town/community council level are not systematically reported and so are omitted from analysis, but some individual results are mentioned in the posts.
You can also sign up to receive full by-election voting figures each week by email at www.libdemnewswire.com (pick the daily digest option).
