Reform UK has been celebrating after gaining 14 seats at Plymouth City Council in the local elections.
Labour entered the election knowing they could not lose control of the authority, but ended the count with nine fewer councillors compared to the last time the seats were contested in 2022. The party has a majority of five following the election.
The gains by Reform have moved it to the second largest group in Plymouth with 16 councillors.
The Conservatives lost six seats – taking its councillors to three. The Green Party gained one seat to move up to three councillors while the independent group ended with four members – no change from 2022.
