Of this week's six contests only one seat changed hands, a surprise gain for the Conservatives in Cambridgeshire. The Tories also successfully held a seat in Leicestershire and there is little sign yet that they are paying an electoral price for the ongoing crises facing Britain.
Having lost a seat to the Tories, the Lib Dems held their other two seats, while Labour and a local resident's association successfully defended one each.
