It's been a while since we looked in on council by-elections, but with a big month for Westminster by-elections coming up we thought it was time to look in and see what's happening around the country.
This week there were four council seats up for grabs - two in England and two in Wales. Every seat changed hands, with a gain each for the Tories, Plaid and Lib Dems. The Crewe Central result raised a few eyebrows in the Twitterverse with the Conservatives taking a seat off Labour with a huge swing.
