Local Elections 2022: Which councils have changed hands?

6 May 2022, 08:44 | Updated: 7 May 2022, 08:18

A number of councils have changed hands across the UK in the 2022 local elections, with many Tory strongholds being captured by Labour.

Around a third of councils declared results overnight, with the rest - including all authorities in Scotland and Wales - later on Friday.

The Conservatives have suffered setbacks across England, with Labour further strengthening its grip on the capital and securing 'true blue' seats.

Thatcher's favourite Tory authority in Wandsworth has been taken by Labour, along with Westminster for the first time since its creation in 1964.

While Labour enjoyed success in London, there was a mixed picture elsewhere.
