Labour has lost overall control of Bristol City Council as the “Green surge” saw the party’s new main rivals more than double their seats.
Both groups now have 24 councillors, with Labour losing nine members at the local elections, which were declared on Sunday (May 9), and the Greens gaining 13, while the Conservatives remained on 14 and the Lib Dems lost one to leave them on eight.
