Local by-elections: LGA First News

While I thought that the turnout in our Arbury Ward Nuneaton election was low at 17%, of the 13 by-elections listed in the above, 3 others had lower turnouts.  Manchester: Ancoats and Clayton (Lab hold) 11%, Liverpool: Riverside (Lab hold) 12% and Chelmsford: South-Woodham-Elmwood (SWF gain from Con) 14%.

Of the others, only Bracknell Forest: Winkfield and Cranborne (Con hold) at 27% was over 25%.

Maybe it's the time of year?  Certainly here in Nuneaton, the siting of polling booths in one district didn't help.

Finally, unfortunately, only we in the Arbury Ward Nuneaton were able to record a con gain.  Thank you team and voters!
