More noticeable when I was looking at the lists was those names missing. David Stone, Stewart Bradford, Keith Morgan, Mark Higginbottom and Denise Hawksworth.

Stuart and Keith are not in good health, David became disillusioned with the LibDems and presumable didn't want to go as far as joining UKIP and retired. I've heard from more than one LibDem member that Mark doesn't do any work and it's certainly fact that Peter does surgeries on his own.
As far as Holmes v Cambridge it would only be speculation but Denise (who worked for Holmes then Clegg) has left the party and (i think mainly for health reasons) has stood down approaching her mayoral year.

Dave is a cabinet member at DCC which is time-consuming in terms of getting to meetings so will stick to that role but remain just as active as a ward member thus (hopefully) giving us a team of 4 rather than 3 in Hasland
