By-election not held

Jane Scott retired as councillor for By Brook in February 2020, following her appointment as a government whip in the House of Lords.[4] In March 2020, a by-election to take place on 2 April was announced. Nick Botterill was selected to stand for the Conservatives, Lesley Bennet for the Liberal Democrats.[11] However, later in March the by-election was cancelled by the Returning Officer, due to COVID-19 lockdown guidance.[12][13]

The seat remained vacant[14] until the Wiltshire Council election in May 2021, when Botterill was elected.
