A second seat (won by Christopher Atkinson) was contested following the death in office of Councillor Michael Kelly.[2]
The incumbent was Imdad Hussain who had been elected for the Labour party but was suspended from the Labour Party for two years in 2012 when he failed to declare being banned as a company director. He subsequently joined the Peace Party becoming their only councillor and standing under that banner for re-election.[3] Imdad was punched and his windscreen smashed in two separate incidents while canvassing for this election. He called for calm and said that tensions were really high.[4]
In October 2016 Brian Morris quit UKIP and became an independent councillor.[5]
Paul Cromie was elected to represent the British National Party in 2010 but then left the party in 2011 standing as The Queensbury Ward Independents with his wife Jane Cromie who won another of the Queensbury councillor seats in 2011.[6]
The percentage change for the British Democratic Party (2013) candidate is compared to the British National Party candidate in the 2010 election.
Chris Graves was the incumbent, who stood down at this election.
