Conservatives romp to victory in Derbyshire County Council elections
The Conservatives have romped to victory in dramatic style in the Derbyshire County Council elections, significantly strengthening their grasp on the former Labour stronghold.

After a campaign defined by Covid-19 restrictions and a year like no other, the Conservatives tightened their hold on the county council from 36 seats to 45.
Meanwhile, Labour saw its share of seats on the authority, which it has held for 36 years out of the past 48, reduce from 24 seats to 14.
Today’s results mean that, for the first time, the Conservatives have had back-to-back administrations at the authority.
