Conservatives win huge majority to control Bucks Council

Votes for the Buckinghamshire Council elections have all been verified and counted.

It's been a long wait, but victory for the Conservatives has been announced.

They've taken 47% of the votes, amounting to 113 seats.

That includes the leader of the council prior to these elections, Martin Tett, who was one of three Tory councillors elected in the Little Chalfont and Amersham Common ward.

Coming in second were the Liberal Democrats, with 20% of the votes and 15 seats, picking up an additional 3 councillors.

Independent candidates took 14 seats, Labour ended with 4 councillors being elected.

One Green councillor was also voted in.

39% of the electorate turned out to vote - that's about normal for when no General Election takes place.

We're still waiting to hear on the Town and Parish councils. Voting for the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley is only due to start in Monday.

For a more detailed picture of who was elected for your area, head to Bucks Council's website.

Meanwhile, Bucks Council have confirmed an incident took place at the High Wycombe Count, where the police were called. It's still unclear exactly what happened.
