The Conservatives are due to take control of Colchester Borough Council for the first time in 13 years.
The authority had been run by a Liberal Democrat coalition with Labour prior to Thursday s elections.
After the vote, the Tories failed to make any gains but remained the largest party with 23 councillors.
But talks concluded on Monday to form a joint administration with the Highwoods independents group, which gives them a majority of one.
Paul Dundas, leader of the Conservative Group, said: We have had extremely productive discussions over the last few days and found we have a great deal in common in our visions for Colchester.
THE Conservatives are set to take control of Colchester Council - for the first time in 13 years. After Thursday’s election the Lib Dem and Labour coalition was left with just 23 seats between them, one less than they started the night out with. The Tories failed to secure a majority, also holding 23 seats, and Lib Dem leader of the council Mark Cory said discussions were ongoing to form a renewed progressive alliance. However, the Conservative Group has now confirmed it has reached an agreement with the Highwoods Independent Group to form a new joint administration for the next year. The Highwoods Independents are made up of Gerard Oxford, his wife, Beverly and their son, Philip.
