  2. Schofield previously served as a Garforth and Swillington ward councillor between 1982 and his election for Halton ward in 1986. Losing his seat in 1990, he served Halton again from 1992 to 1996, when he lost his seat for a second time. He won again in 2003 and served the one-year term available until the all-out election in 2004.
  3. Lyons, previously a councillor for Richmond Hill ward from 1980, was awarded an OBE in the 2003 Birthday Honours.[7][8]
  4. Langdale resigned from the council for personal reasons in February 2009, triggering an April 2009 by-election. It was subsequently won by the Conservatives. In October 2008, the Daily Express had reported Langdale had been involved in an extramarital affair with the 2008 Labour candidate for Temple Newsam, Jeff Coupar. Coupar was also married to Middleton Park and later Temple Newsam ward councillor, Debra Coupar.[11]
  5. Cummins was previously a Bradford City Councillor for Royds ward from 2004 to 2007.
  6. Cummins was elected as Member of Parliament for Bradford South on the same day as the 2015 council election. She stood down from the council at the 2016 council election.
  7. Cross Gates and Whinmoor ward councillor Coupar replaced Judith Cummins. She had previously represented Morley South ward from 2003 to 2004, Middleton Park ward between 2006 and 2010 and Cross Gates and Whinmoor since 2013.

gollark: Well, for me it works fine but keeps trying to load resources from 100.64.0.7 and not kit.osmarks.net, which obviously won't work due to security bees.
gollark: You might need to manually configure it to use "kit.osmarks.net/wiki" as the base URL, or something.
gollark: Oh, your thing keeps trying to use the internal IP.
