Full Telford & Wrekin Council election results as Labour increase majority and Tories lose out
Labour has tightened its grip on Telford & Wrekin Council, increasing its majority on a night that saw the Tories lose seats.
Labour went into the election, where all 54 seats were up for grabs, hoping to retain control of the authority, but faced competition from the Conservatives. Both parties fielded a candidate for every seat.
Prior to the contest, the ruling Labour party had 34 councillors while the Tories had 13. The Liberal Democrats had four while there were also two independents and one vacant seat.
However, nine hours after the polls closed, Labour were celebrating a successful night, picking up an extra four seats to come away with 38 councillors.
The Tories saw their presence on the council nearly halved, going from 13 to eight, leaving the party two ahead of the Liberal Democrats who gained two seats to finish the election with six councillors. The remaining two seats were won by independents.
