Also to make a major breakthrough is the Green Party which won control of Mid Suffolk - the first council they have controlled outright.In Hertsmere, where Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden is MP, the Tories lost control of the council, with 13 councillors voted out while Labour gained seven and the Lib Dems six.Tamworth, Brentford, North West Leicestershire and East Lindsey also fell from Tory administrations to no overall control.
