The first Bucks unitary council elections are over and the results are in.
Buckinghamshire residents went to the polls on Thursday for the first time since the new Buckinghamshire Council came into existence back in April 2020 – one year later than planned because of the Covid pandemic.
With Friday a mostly administrative day, results were revealed throughout today (Saturday) with some surprises in store.
As expected, the Conservatives won a majority, taking 113 seats, while the Lib Dems came in second with 15 seats, followed by the Independents (six seats), Labour (four seats), Independent Network (two seats) and the Green Party getting a seat.
