## Election result[edit]

The results saw the Conservatives stay in control of the council after retaining all of the seats they had been defending.[6] This left the Conservatives with 29 seats, compared to 11 for Labour.[7] Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats were reduced to 2 councillors and the party lost vote share across the council.[8] Overall turnout in the election was 35%.[9]

The only change in the election saw Labour gain 1 seat from the Liberal Democrats in Nethermayne, with the winning Labour candidate, Andrew Gordon, becoming the youngest councillor at the age of 18.[8] Among the other winners was Daniel Munyambu for Labour in Vange, who became the second Kenyan to be elected as a councillor in the United Kingdom,[10] and the former council leader Nigel Smith who returned to the council in Lee Chapel North.[8]
