Counts are underway for the municipality and the police crime commissioner elections (PCC) which took place in England and Wales on Thursday.
Most results have now been received, but some will be announced over the weekend and the final figures will not be known until Sunday afternoon.
Work won a major victory in the mayoral elections LondonSouth Yorkshire, Liverpool and Greater Manchester.
The party hopes to dethrone the party Conservatives 'Andy Street in the West Midlands. That race is too close to call right now.
These are some of the key battlegrounds as the Conservatives have faced a dismal showing across the board.
In Woking it was a Lib Dem coup. However, the Tories lost all the wards they held in 2021
The Tories were also dealt a blow in Reigate and Banstead. Controlling the council means there is no overall majority, with the Greens, Lib Dems and Labor making gains
– Adur (Lab win from Con)
The Adur Council in West Sussex was founded in 1974 and has never been led by the Labor Party in its entire 50-year history – until now.
Labor won eight seats in Thursday's election, enough to make that happen to give the party its first majority in the council, while the Tories lost seven and overall control.
– Basildon (Con loses due to no overall control)
The Conservatives fared particularly poorly in Essex in this series of local elections – an area of England that will again be a key battleground in the general election.
In Basildon the party saw its number of councilors fall by thirteen, while Labor increased by nine and the Independents by four, while in Castle Point they were completely wiped out, losing every seat they contested.
About 13 Conservative candidates did not appear on the ballot papers in Castle Point due to nomination issues – an issue that has contributed to the new council being made up exclusively of 39 independents.
– Cheltenham
The Liberal Democrats strengthened their majority in Cheltenham in Gloucestershire by capturing a further five seats, leaving the Conservatives without a single councillor.
This could upset the city's Tory MP, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk, who had a majority of just 981 at the last general election.
In Stevenage, Labor held on to the council while the Tories suffered losses
– Dudley (Con loses because there is no overall control)
In Dudley in the West Midlands, Sir Keir Starmer launched Labour's local election campaign, having been one of the few Metropolitan councils controlled by the Conservatives.
There is now no overall control left, thanks to Labor increasing its seats by eight, while the Tories have lost seven.
The new council will have a tie, with both the Conservatives and Labor having 34 seats – a scenario that gives the Liberal Democrats (three seats) and one Independent party the balance of power.
– Hartlepool (Lab win due to no overall control)
Three years ago, Labor lost the Hartlepool parliamentary by-election to the Conservatives – an event that reportedly happened led to Sir Keir Starmer considering resigning as party leader.
This year, Hartlepool in County Durham gave Labor reason to celebrate with the party winning control of the council for the first time since 2019 thanks to a net gain of seven seats, while the Tories lost six.
Rossendale also saw a Labor hold this year
– Harlow
Sir Keir and his deputy Angela Rayner toured the Essex town of Harlow 24 hours before the polls opened, in a symbolic visit to a part of the country that will be a key battleground in the general election.
But although Labor made progress in Thursday's election in Harlow, it fell short of an overall majority here by the narrowest of margins, ultimately gaining 16 seats on the council, one behind the Tories on 17.
– Milton Keynes (Lab win by no overall check)
Labor has been gaining ground in Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire for several years and on Thursday the party finally won enough seats to gain overall control, the first time it has had a majority here since 2000.
– Nuneaton & Bedworth (Lab win from Con)
There has been a complete change in Nuneaton & Bedworth in Warwickshire, with Labor gaining fifteen seats and the Conservatives losing eleven seats, enough for Labor to take control of the council for the first time since 2018.
Tandridge was close again – with no overall control this year
– Oldham (Lab loses without overall control)
Independent candidates won five seats in Oldham in Greater Manchester, while Labor lost four, along with overall control.
Oldham is one of two councils where Labor lost its majority at this election. The other is Kirklees in West Yorkshire, where the Independents made further gains.
– Rushmoor (Lab win from Con)
There was better news for Labor deep in the so-called 'blue wall' of Hampshire's traditional Conservative heartland.
The party won seven seats and a majority on the council of Rushmoor, an area that includes the army town of Aldershot. lost eight seats and overall control.
– Redditch (Lab win from Con)
Labor will be pleased with its performance in the Worcestershire council of Redditch – another key general election battleground – where the party won nine seats and overall control, while the Conservatives saw their numbers fall by 11.
– South Tyneside
It was a less cheerful picture for Labor in South Tyneside, where the party suffered a net loss of ten seats.
In Tunbridge Wells the Lib Dems won the council
Independent candidates won nine seats and the Greens won two, while the Tories lost their only councillor.
Labor still has a majority here, but only just. The new council will consist of 28 Labor councillors, 15 Independents and 11 Greens.
– Thurrock (Lab win by no overall control)
Labor needed six seats to take control of Thurrock in Essex, which has been run by the Tories in recent years during a period of turbulence that saw the council effectively declared bankrupt in December 2022.
– Police and crime commissioners
About 27 of the 37 Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) results have been announced, with the rest expected this weekend.
Labor has won nine PCCs from the Conservatives so far: Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire, Cleveland, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire.
Plaid Cymru has retained its sole PCC in Dyfed-Powys in Wales.
