Five seats were up for grabs in this week's council action. On the unusual polling day of Wednesday, the Ashfield Independents held easily. The following day it was a routine hold for Labour in Sefton, while there were three Conservative defences. The Tories lost a seat each to Labour (Bassetlaw) and the Lib Dems (Isle of Wight). They held their other defence by the wafer thin majority of three votes.
Absentees this week were UKIP in Ashfield, the Conservatives in Sefton and an independent in Warrington.
