Elections 2021: Cambridgeshire County Council results
The Conservatives have lost control of Cambridgeshire County Council, which is now under no overall control.
While it was a clean sweep for the Tories taking all nine of the seats for Fenland on the authority, elsewhere the news was not so good.
Voters went to the polls yesterday (Thursday) to elect all 61 councillors on the council and it proved to be a disastrous day for the Tories, with six seats lost.
The Liberal Democrats picked up four, including one left vacant by the resignation of former Tory deputy leader Roger Hickford.
Labour picked up three. Two independents and two from St Neots Independent Group were elected.
It meant the Tories were three seats short of the 31 they needed to retain the control they have enjoyed since 2017 - prior to which there was four years of a hung council.
The county council has responsibility for areas such as education, social care, highways, waste and recycling and services for children and families.
The final tally
Conservative: 28 (-6)*
Liberal Democrats: 20 (+4)
Labour: 9 (+3)
Independent: 2 (no change)
St Neots Independent Group: 2 (no change)
*One seat was vacant, following the resignation of former Tory leader Roger Hickford
