LIVE UPDATES: Local elections count
After weeks of hard campaigning candidates in the local elections will today learn their political fate.
The Conservatives will be hoping to maintain their majority in the chamber, but it remains to be seen whether voters will take out their frustrations with the national party over Brexit on local candidates.
Those still hoping the UK may still stay in the EU may swing their support behind the Lib Dems, while the Greens, who are fielding candidates in every ward, may see gains amid heightened concerns about the environment.
Labour are hopeful of gaining representation in the chamber again, having seen their sole councillor Jason Fojtik (now standing as an independent in Clopton) leave the party on the day of nominations being submitted.
It will also be interesting to seek whether UKIP’s only candidate in the elections, Frank Rietz, gains much support in Wellesbourne East, given the current uncertainty over Brexit.
Altogether 142 candidates are contesting 36 district wards while 120 candidates are contesting 21 town and parish councils.
The council is currently made up of 26 conservatives, four Liberal Democrats, five Independents, with one seat vacant.
Turnout at the last local elections in May 2015 was 71.7% (combined with General Election) from an electorate of 98,791.
All in all there’s lots to look out for so keep an eye on this page for live updates from our reporting team at today’s count.
