Everything to play for

January 23, 2010 10:23 AM

There were just two important by-elections on 21st January. In the Airedale & Ferry Fryston Ward of Wakefield MBC Labour held on to the seat but LibDem Paul Kirby came second increasing his vote by 8.3%. The big news (but not perhaps very good news) was the Conservative pushed into 4th place by the BNP. In West Hallam & Dale Abbey Ward of Erewash BC LibDem Gary Hamson took 37.6% of the vote to come second to the Conservatives who held the seat. The big news here was that LibDems did not contest the seat at the main local council elections so this result was from a standing start.
