Notes

  1. ^ The incumbent member for the seat, independent politician George Waddle, did not run again, so this seat is marked as an independent gain.
  2. ^ Stephenson was elected in the 25 February 2010 by-election[5] following the death of Barrie Scorer, who was elected in the 2007 election for Primrose.
  3. ^ Pete Hodgkinson ran as the BNP candidate for the Primrose ward in 2007, and the change in vote share listed is from that result.
