Five council by-elections this week and three seats changing hands with one gain each for Labour, the Conservatives and Lib Dems. Labour gained from the Conservatives in Norfolk with a resounding victory. The Tories gained from the Lib Dems in Hampshire with a narrow margin of 25 votes, aided by the addition of an independent candidate that appeared to affect the Lib Dem vote. The Lib Dems returned the serve in Surrey where they crushed the Conservative candidate with a thumping gain.
Elsewhere it was a hold each for Labour (St Helens) and the Conservatives (Monmouthshire).
There were no absentees in any of this week's polls.
