Reactivating a relevant old thread rather than starting a new one. I've been posting these maps for years on the Vote UK forum, but that got hacked at the beginning of the month (nice birthday present, people) and it's looking increasingly unlikely to be coming back. Basically these maps signal that bits of my website have been updated. Barnsley 2011. Changes based on 2007: Lab gain from Barnsley Independent Group (BIG) Darfield Hoyland Milton Kingstone Old Town Rockingham 2010 map (BIG in pink): 2011 map: Cartogram (showing each ward according to its voting power): Split wards are (not taking account of by-elections or defections): Darfield is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May. Darton East is 2Lab/1BIG and Labour are defending in May. Dearne South is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May (however, I think the Lib Dem councillor has defected to Labour). Hoyland Milton is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May. Kingstone is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May. Monk Bretton is 2Lab/1Ind and the Independent is up in May. North East is 2BIG/1Lab and BIG are defending in May. Old Town is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May. Rockingham is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May. Stairfoot is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May. Worsbrough is 2Lab/1BIG and BIG are defending in May.

My version of Doncaster 2011 (good work there Al). Changes based on 2007: Lab gain from Community Group Thorne Lab gain from Ind Armthorpe Edlington and Warmsworth Lab gain from LD Edenthorpe, Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun Mexborough Town Moor Wheatley 2010 and 2011 maps: Cartogram of the 2011 results (showing each ward according to its voting power): Split wards are (not taking account of by-elections or defections): Armthorpe is 2Lab/1Ind and the Independent is up in May. Balby is 2Lab/1Ind and the Independent is up in May. Edenthorpe, Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Edlington and Warmsworth is 2Lab/1Ind and the Independent is up in May. Great North Road is 2Lab/1Ind and the Independent is up in May (although I think the Independent councillor has defected to Labour). Mexborough is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Rossington is 2Lab/1Ind and the Independent is up in May. Thorne is 2Lab/1Community Group and the Community Group are defending in May. Town Moor is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. The 2010 and 2011 maps are identical but the shares of the vote were very different: Labour polled 46% in 2011 but only 35% 36% in 2010. The Liberal Democrats were fifth in share of the vote in 2011 with 7%, behind the combined Independents (12%) and the English Democrats (9%). The 2010 election had a few strange features: Labour gained Edenthorpe, Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun with just 24.0% of the vote, which is the lowest winning score I can remember seeing in a UK local election. The full shares of the vote were Lab 24.0 LD 23.3 C 20.3 EDP 16.2 Ind 16.2, the English Democrats and the defending Independent councillor tying for last place with 1,100 votes each. Labour also gained Thorne with 27.5% of the vote, the sitting Community Group councillor standing as an independent and coming third with 14.3%; in that ward the Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates were both called John Brown.

Thanks for the thanks The People's Republic of Rotherham 2011. Changes based on 2007: Lab gain from C Hellaby Wales Lab gain from Ind Maltby 2010 map: 2011 map: Cartogram of the 2011 results (showing each ward according to its voting power): Split wards are (not taking account of by-elections or defections): Anston and Woodsetts is 2Lab/1C and the Conservatives are defending in May. Brinsworth and Catcliffe is 2Lab/1BNP but the BNP councillor (who would have been up in May) recently got kicked off the council for non-attendance after a bizarre tour of defections between various far-right parties, including joining the National Front and then leaving them on the grounds that he hadn't realised they were a bunch of racists. Hellaby is 2C/1Lab and the Conservatives are defending in May. Maltby is 2Lab/1BNP and the BNP are defending in May, although again I think the BNP councillor here is no longer in the BNP. Wales is 2Lab/1C and the Conservatives are defending in May. Wickersley is 2Lab/1C and the Conservatives are defending in May.

I was just going to post my own Sheffield 2011 maps... So instead I'll just do the text: Lab gain from LD Broomhill Crookes East Ecclesfield Gleadless Valley Hillsborough Nether Edge Stocksbridge and Upper Don Walkley West Ecclesfield Split wards are (not taking account of by-elections or defections): Broomhill is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Central is 2Grn/1Lab and the Greens are defending in May. Crookes is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. East Ecclesfield is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Gleadless Valley is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Hillsborough is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Mosborough is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Nether Edge is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Stocksbridge and Upper Don is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Walkley is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. West Ecclesfield is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. In close elections (not that we're likely to have one here in the near future) Sheffield has a tendency to produce wrong-winner results. In 2007 Labour polled most votes and the Lib Dems won most seats, while in 2010 the Lib Dems polled most votes and Labour won most seats. In 2006 the Lib Dems polled most votes but Labour would have won most seats had it not been for one of the Lib Dem wards being a double election.

Gateshead 2011. Changes based on 2007: Lab gain from LD Crawcrook and Greenside Dunston Hill and Whickham East Pelaw and Heworth Ryton, Crookhill and Stella Winlaton and High Spen 2010 map: 2011 map: Cartogram of the 2011 results (showing each ward according to its voting power): Split wards are (not taking account of by-elections or defections): Birtley is 2Lab/1Lib and the Liberals are defending in May. Crawcrook and Greenside is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Dunston Hill and Whickham East is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Pelaw and Heworth is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Ryton, Crookhill and Stella is 2LD/1Lab and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Winlaton and High Spen is 2Lab/1LD and the Lib Dems are defending in May. Few things to note: - before 2010 Gateshead really was a council where nothing happened electorally. After the 2008 elections all the wards had a full slate of Labour councillors or a full slate of Lib Dem councillors (except Birtley which had one Liberal Party councillor). - the Lib Dems normally don't stand in Birtley and Lamesley to give the continuing Liberals a run. - it could have been even worse for the Lib Dems this year as they held Whickham North by just 24 votes.

The elections were null and void because a candidate died near the polling date.
The circumstances were slightly different. In Byker a candidate died a week or two before the election so the date of polling was postponed to June. In Westerhope the Lib Dem candidate died on polling day, so the poll did start but had to be abandoned. North Tyneside is the next map, although it does have an elected Mayor who ISTR is Tory at the moment. [applause] Somebody please do this for Stoke-on-Trent in the last few years.
