The Conservatives have retained control of Derbyshire Dales District Council with a reduced majority - and the Liberal Democrats take over from Labour as the official opposition.
The Conservatives lost 9 seats in total, with the Lib Dems gaining 5 on their 2015 return and Labour one. The Greens were winners too, taking two seats, and the voters also returned 3 Independent councillors. It means the Conservatives hold control by a single seat, taking 20 of the available 39 seats.The last result of the Count at Wirksworth Leisure Centre was declared at 4.45am - a single vote victory for the Green Party candidate Matthew Buckler in Stanton.
So the final result was:
- Conservatives 20 seats
- Lib Dems 8
- Labour 6
- Independents 3
- Green Party 2
