All councils in Scotland, Wales and London, and many in the rest of England were up for election yesterday. Early results include some totemic wins for Labour, such as taking control of Wandsworth council, but a mixed picture elsewhere
On 5 May all councils in Scotland and Wales held elections for all of their councillors. In England, the picture is more complex. Many parts of England held no election at all. Others held elections for a third of seats as part of a four-yearly cycle in which a third of lower-tier seats are elected each year, with the upper-tier being chosen in the fourth year. In other areas there is a “unitary” council, being elected in its entirety.
