Stoke-on-Trent s Conservatives are celebrating once again following a narrow victory in a city council by-election.
Tory candidate Dean Richardson won the contest in Penkhull and Stoke on Thursday with 582 votes, just 10 ahead of his Labour opponent Lee Polshaw.
Counting is underway in today s Penkhull and Stoke by-election.
Four candidates are contesting the vacant seat on Stoke-on-Trent City Council, with the polls closed at 10pm.
The by-election was called following the resignation of veteran councillor Randy Conteh in May. The 62-year-old has been charged with rape and will appear at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on July 16.
The four candidates standing in the by-election are: Adam Colclough, of the Green Party; Hazel Lyth, of the City Independents; Lee Polshaw, of Labour; and Dean Richardson, of the Conservatives.
The city council is run by a minority Conservative administration, with the support of two independent councillors. But the Tories have been edging closer to an overall majority, following their victory in the Moorcroft by-election in May and the defection of former Labour councillor Candi Chetwynd this week.
