Sherry Holling is ‘quietly confident’ and hopeful to retain the only Labour seat left in Rockingham ward Barnsley.
She said: “With regards to Rockingham I think people have learnt that having an independent councillor or a conservative councillor does not get them what they want.
I think they’ve realised and they’re coming back to Labour.”
Nicola Sumner is the current Labour councillor who famously won through a coin toss. She is now running in Central ward.
There is one Reform seat and one Independent seat in Rockingham.
