The seat became vacant after the incumbent Cllr Sandra Rylance sadly passed away from a brain tumour in August. Cllr Rylance was described by her colleagues as a tremendous lady, loyal, honest and trustworthy who will be sorely missed.
Richard Mandley has managed to hold on to the seat for UKIP with a slim majority but a 6.2% increase in votes.
