COLCHESTER Council’s ruling coalition looks set to have maintained its grip on power after a dramatic election night. The Lib Dem and Labour alliance went into Thursday’s poll holding 24 seats between them. After the results were counted they hold 23. However, with the Conservative opposition failing to make up ground or take seats from other parties, the progressive alliance looks like it will survive at least another year. Leader of the council Mark Cory (Lib Dem) said: “We will start talking with other parties about how we work together going forward. “I personally could not work with the Conservative Party because I do not believe our values align but I believe the other parties could work together.”
