The full results for this year's Cambridge City Council elections have now been announced and all of the winning councillors declared. People across Cambridge headed to the polls yesterday (May 2) to cast their vote in the city council election, with the counting taking place this afternoon (May 3).

This year there were 14 of the city council's 42 seats up for election. Labour leader Councillor Mike Davey said he was "delighted" the party had maintained its number of councillors at the authority. He said: “It has been a long few weeks, the last 48 hours has been quite exhausting, but I am absolutely over the moon, we have done really well in Cambridge. We have managed to keep and maintain our number of seats, we are still running the council, I have not done the analysis yet, but we appear to have increased our vote, it just feels like a good day.

The turnout at the city council elections was 37.8 per cent, with the highest individual ward turn out in West Chesterton where 48.3 per cent of eligible voters headed to the polls. The lowest individual turnout in the city was in Abbey ward where 32 per cent of those eligible cast their vote.

The only loss of the day was seen by the Liberal Democrat group, who lost their Newnham seat to the Green Party. The newly elected Green Party candidate, Councillor Hugh Clough, won the seat with 925 votes, with the Liberal Democrat candidate, Lucy Nethsingha coming third behind the Labour candidate, with just 306 votes.

Cllr Clough said he was "delighted" to be elected to the city council. Councillor Tim Bick, leader of the Liberal Democrat group at the city council, said he was "disappointed" the Lib Dems lost the Newnham seat, however he said he was "really pleased" to be returning to the city council with two other colleagues. Here is a break down of all the results for each ward.

Tory Remainers are the authors of their party’s defeat
The oddity of European politics is that Britain is moving sharply to the Left while most of the Continent is moving even further to the Right. In Britain, young people and even the middle aged are abandoning Conservatism. Elsewhere in Europe, the young are the pillars of a radical Right-wing upsurge. On the Continent, the cause is largely frustration with the consequences of being in the EU. In Britain, it is largely a backlash against being out of it.
