In one of the most hotly contested polls in the county, seven seats were won by independents while Conservatives took the remaining five.
At the last local elections in 2017, the Conservatives won 11 out of the 12 seats.
Among the independent candidates to this time around were former Conservative town councillor Tim Beckett and former Conservative Shropshire councillor Roger Hughes, both of whom have recently left the party.
Councillor Jill Beckett, another former Conservative, was also standing as an independent but was unsuccessful in retaining her seat in the South ward, as was Labour incumbent Alan Cartwright.
