Labour has lost its seat to the Liberal Democrats in a Luton Borough Council by-election.
A vote was held to fill a seat in Round Green ward after councillor Mark Rivers resigned.
Steve Moore received 1,041 votes while Labour candidate Fatima Begum got 910.
Labour retained its seat in the by-election for High Town Ward, which had been prompted by the resignation of councillor Rachel Hopkins, who became Labour MP for Luton South in 2019.
