Overall results
The Conservatives tightened their grip on the council by gaining three seats from the Liberal Democrats. They however lost one seat to Labour who now had a presence on the council after a four-year absence. The leader of the Liberal Democrats David Thornewell lost his seat after 37 years on the council.
