They're the actual results. The other five wards should be in within the hour.

[Sunken Ships]

They only need 2 for a majority..

Yep. A majority is virtually guaranteed now.

Interesting points from tonight so far are the Lib Dems being wiped out with Edna Wright and Arthur Preece voted out, PHF taking all three in the tough Fens and Rossmere ward but failing to gain a single councillor in Headland and Harbour.

Foggy Furze: Christopher Akers-Belcher, Kevin Cranney and Kaylee Sirs. All Labour.

Labour retain a majority.

Hart: Jean Robinson and Paul Beck, both Labour. Keith Fisher, independent.

Lab 18. PHF 4. Ind 2.

3 wards to go.
