In Lincolnshire the Conservatives have easily retained control of the County Council, after the elections yesterday (6 May).
There are some gains for independents and the Lib Dems but the Tories have continued their dominance with a similar share of the vote to last time.
On the result Leader of Lincolnshire County Council Martin Hill says: "we had our manifesto - and I think it's an endorsement of our policies and we do try and deliver policies that are suitable for Lincolnshire. We're pleased people have supported that".
The only crumb of comfort for Labour was the performance of former Lincoln MP Karen Lee who took a seat from the Tories.
Meanwhile, there were just 4 council seats in North Lincolnshire up for grabs this time around and they were all won by Conservatives gaining one of them from Labour.
Results are beginning to come through for North East Lincolnshire council.
The Tories who already controlled the council have gained 5 seats from Labour so far.
Meanwhile the Conservatives have secured a majority on Nottinghamshire county council.
