* Independent contested seat as Liberal Democrat in 2009
Swing since 2013 not meaningful but Liberal Democrat to Conservative ~9% since 2009
Council now 61 Conservative, 22 Liberal Democrat, 10 Independent, 4 Labour, 1 UKIP
A feature of the by-elections held on 14 July, which I have not seen remarked upon elsewhere, is that six of the ten were held in small (electorate less than 2,000) or reasonably small (electorate less than 3,500) single member wards / divisions. Furthermore a seventh by-election was held in a two member Gwynedd division where the electorate is less than another single member Gwynedd division held on the same day. Five of the six single member wards / divisions saw the seat change hands rising to six out of seven if a No Description candidate replacing an Independent in the small 2 member Gwynedd seat is considered to be a gain.
The 10 by-elections held last week can be summarised in descending size of electorate by:
