Nine council seats were up for grabs on Thursday, with action taking place from east to west.
Labour were on the defence in two seats, losing one and holding the other. In Basildon they lost to Reform who came from nowhere to win fairly comfortably, taking votes from all the other parties. Labour held in Neath Port Talbot, despite a significant dip in their vote share. Labour's vote share was down in all nine seats.
The Tories had a mixed week, losing two seats to Reform and gaining two elsewhere, including a Reform defence...
Reform had been defending their third seat in as many weeks, following several resignations within just days or weeks of being elected in May. They have now lost all three, primarily because the electorate doesn't appreciate being asked to vote twice in a matter of months. They tumbled to third place in Staffordshire, where the Tories sailed into first for an easy win.
NOTE: The Denbighshire hold for the Conservatives was previously a multi-seat contest in which the Green Party won the first seat and the Tories second.
