The May 6 local elections saw the Conservatives gain seats across county and borough elections, while the other parties had significantly less success - with Labour losing out the most.
We spoke to each party to get their reaction.
A spokesperson for Welwyn Hatfield Conservatives said: In this election, the people of Welwyn Hatfield have chosen to reward our approach of campaigning positively combined with making a clear effort to knock on doors and meet people face to face to discuss what matters to them.
