The results mean Labour regain control of the council for the first time since 2019. Since that time the authority has wavered between no overall control with the Conservatives holding a majority between 2021 and 2023.
The result follows national trends in which Labour have picked up seats across the country. The Conservatives have lost over 150 seats at time of writing.
