Council by-election results from yesterday and forthcoming contests
Original published 11 September 2026 · Briefing prepared 2026-09-12
ConservativeHome’s council by-election bulletin reports a Labour hold in Burnage, Reform UK gains in Eckington South and Renishaw and in Hutton and Locking, and a Conservative hold in Haverhill West. It also lists forthcoming contests. These are reported local results with different comparison elections, so their changes should not be treated as a national polling trend.
