COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 20.02.20

Just the one last night, a Conservative-held seat in Yorkshire.  Last time round this seat was contested by just two parties, but the field was considerably bigger this time.  The Tories held easily, while the Labour vote plummeted, with more than half of it being mopped up by the Lib Dem newcomer.
