Following the election, the Conservative Party regained control of the council, with 25 seats (an increase of six). Labour finished on 10 seats (down from 11) while five Independents and three Liberal Democrats also won seats.[2]
The Liberal Democrat deputy council leader lost his seat in the Larkfield ward after 13 years as a councillor. In the Priory ward there were three recounts before Labour candidate, Tudor Thomas, was declared winner over the sitting Conservative councillor by three votes.[2]
