Elections 2019: Conservatives retain control of West Lindsey District Council

A total of six authorities are now controlled by the Tories, while Labour retained control of City of Lincoln Council.

But, the Tories’ hold on North Kesteven District Council was lost as no party commanded overall control.

In the north of the county, the Conservatives gained North East Lincolnshire Council and increased its majority on North Lincolnshire Council.

East Lindsey District Council is expected to count this morning.

In West Lindsey, the Tories won 19 seats on the night, while five seats were won by the Liberal Democrats. Four seats won by the Conservatives were uncontested, meaning there was no challenge to the candidate.

The make-up of the authority is now: Conservatives, 19; Liberal Democrats, 12; Independent, 3; Lincolnshire Independents, 2.

Meanwhile, the overall turnout at the election was 30.75 per cent.
