Over the weekend votes were counted and verified for the borough council election, where 14 of the council s 39 seats were up for election.
Although Labour has maintained control of Stevenage Borough Council, the party has lost six seats, five of them to the Conservatives and one to the Lib Dems.
The new make-up of the council now consists of 11 Conservative seats, 22 Labour and six Lib Dem.
Stevenage s current Labour mayor, Jim Brown, lost his seat in the Old Town ward to Conservative candidate John Duncan, meaning he will no longer be able to hold his mayoral position.
