The Conservatives made some inroads into north Norfolk in this week s elections for Norfolk County Council.
The Tories gained Wells and Holt from the Liberal Democrats, while North Walsham West and Erpingham went from Tory to Lib Dem control.
It means the Conservatives now control six north Norfolk divisions, the Lib Dems have four and an independent has one.
And Steffan Aquarone, while retaining Melton Constable division, announced he was standing down as group leader of the Lib Dems.
He said: “I’m very sorry to say with a heavy heart I’m stepping down as group leader of the Liberal Democrats on Norfolk County Council. I cannot personally support our position on the Western Link any longer.”
