Wards and councillors

He left Labour in February 2019, joining the Liberal Democrats and was re-elected for that party in May 2019. * B Barber was first elected as a Liberal Democrat councillor, but defected to Labour shortly before he was due to stand for re-election in 2012. * C James was first elected as a Liberal Democrat councillor, but defected to Labour shortly after Labour defeated a Lib Dem councillor in the same ward at the 2011 local elections. * D Lindley was previously a Labour councillor for West Marsh from 2010 to 2014. * E Shepherd was first elected as UKIP, but defected to the Conservatives shortly before he was due to stand for re-election in 2016. * F Mickleburgh was previously a councillor for West Marsh from 2014 to 2018, before changing wards. * G Wilson was previously a councillor for Heneage from 2010 to 2014, before losing his seat to UKIP. * H Cairns was first elected as UKIP in 2014, but defected to the Conservatives several months before he was due to stand for re-election in 2018. * I Bramley was first elected as Labour in 2010, but defected to UKIP in 2013 and defended her seat for them in 2014. She lost her seat to Labour in 2018, coming third, but regained it in 2019. * J Hyldon-King was previously a councillor for Freshney from 1995 to 2003, before losing her seat to the Conservatives, and then again from 2004 to 2008, before losing again but to the Liberal Democrats. * L Wheatley was previously a councillor in East Marsh from 1999 to 2003, before losing her seat to the Liberal Democrats. * M Harness was first elected as UKIP councillor, but quit the party in 2015, later joining the Conservatives in 2016 and thus seeking re-election for them in 2018. * N Stewart Swinburn was previously a councillor for Immingham from 2003 to 2011, before losing his seat to Labour. * O Karen Swinburn was previously a councillor for Immingham from 2006 to 2010, before losing her seat to Labour. * P Pettigrew was first elected as a UKIP councillor for Freshney in 2014, but defected to the Conservatives in early 2017. He sought re-election to the authority in Waltham, a much safer Conservative seat, as he likely assumed Labour might have defeated him if he sought re-election in Freshney as they had won it in every election since he won at that point. Ironically, however, the Conservatives did win there with a new candidate. * Q Hudson was previously a UKIP councillor for Scartho from 2014 to 2018, at which point he stood down before rejoining the Conservative Party, having previously been a candidate for them in 2008.
