Labour has held their seat in a closely fought Penistone West by-election, held on 10 July.
David Griffin won the by-election, which was triggered by the death of the former incumbent, Peter Starling, in May.
The count took place Friday morning (11 June) at Barnsley town hall. The turnout was 25.7 per cent and the results were as follows:
David Griffin (Labour) - 772 votes
Andrew Millner (Conservative) - 719 votes
Steve Webber (Independent) - 338 votes
David Wood (UKIP) - 622 votes

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
