Whilst the BBC and Guardian make it clear that they get their results from the PA, if a team were to trawl through the council websites collecting the information themselves wouldn't this be ok?
That would be fine, yes. The results themselves are a matter of public record and hence not subject to copyright. Any organisation which collates those results may assert database right over the resulting compilation, but if you're doing the collecting yourself from the original sources then that organisation is you and it's up to you whether to assert database right or not.
