A lack of candidates means that no poll will take place in two wards.

**Chase Terrace**  
Sharon Banevicius (Lab)  
Paul Flanagan (Lab)  
Steven Norman (Lab)  
Susan Woodward (Lab)

**Chasetown**  
Jamie Denton (Lab)  
Darren Ennis (Lab)  
Carolyn Gitings (Lab)

It means the red side of the council only needs to claim another five seats in May to take control of the 22-member town council from the Conservatives.

The remaining wards where votes will take place are:

**Boney Hay and Central**  
Rob Birch (Lab)  
Bev Bishop (Lab)  
Di Evans (Lab)  
Jo Hancox (Lab)  
Robin Place (Cons)  
Brad Westwood (Lab)

**Gorstey Lea**  
Nicola Greensill (No party indicated)  
Peter Griffin (Lab)  
Valerie Griffin (Lab)  
Keith Willis-Croft (Cons)

**Highfield**  
Norma Bacon (Cons)  
Jame Smith (Lab)

**Hunslet**  
Andy Bullock (Lab)  
Elaine Kirkham (Lab)  
Samuel Tapper (Cons)

**Summerfield and All Saints**
