Lancaster City Council remains under No Overall Control after the ballot on Thursday.

The results of the local elections were perhaps a little overshadowed by the General Election, which saw Labour’s Cat Smith take Lancaster and Fleetwood.

The Tories retained Morecambe and Lunesdale with an increased majority for incumbent David Morris.

Labour won 29 seats, the Conservatives 19, the Green Party nine. Two Morecambe Bay Independents and one Free Independent were also elected, which suggests Labour will again run a minority administration or enter a coalition.

Despite seeing an increase in their vote the Greens failed to secure new council seats in Skerton East, where the party campaigned hard for a breakthrough after a good showing in previous local elections.

UKIP candidates achieved strong votes where they stood, but not enough to gain a seat, at the expense in particular of the Morecambe Bay Independents.

As in the national elections, for the most part the Liberal Democrat vote seems much reduced in the area.
