In June 2011 Paul Cromie and his wife Lynda (also a councillor) left the British National Party citing 'personal reasons'. They now stand as The Queensbury Ward Independents.

Wharfedale ward
In February 2012 Chris Greaves was sacked by the Conservative Party for frequently voting with Labour at council meetings. A month later he formed The Independents with fellow ex-Conservative Adrian Naylor (Craven ward).

By-elections between 2010 and 2011 elections
Vote changes correspond to 2010 Council election.
