Newcastle upon Tyne elects its councillors by thirds: a ward's seats are elected in separate years, so they can be held by different parties. This by-election is for one of Throckley, Walbottle & Newburn's seats. A gain or hold goes by that seat - the party that last won it - not by which party won the ward's most recent contest, which is usually a different seat.
Conservative, Green, Liberal Democrats: fewer than 5 wins in 100 each.
