By-elections

Fellgate and Hedworth

Independent candidate John Robertson has previously been a councillor on South Tyneside council. In 2011, he deliberately drove a lorry into a council office building following a row over contracts. This resulted in over £160,000 in damage. He received 40 weeks in prison, was suspended from the council, and subsequently declared bankrupt. [21]

The by-election was triggered by Robertson resigning. He was unsuccessful in attempting to retract his own resignation, so subsequently contested the by-election. [22]
