(Last Updated 07:36 7/5/11)
The final result for the local elections sees the Labour Party gaining the most councillors – 23 in all – but no one party has overall control, which has been the case here since 1995.
The biggest losers of the poll were the Liberal Democrats, losing all their councillors, including Council leader Stuart Langhorn. The Conservatives have 15 councillors, gaining four seats, while the Greens have lost four, giving them eight seats.
Lancaster City Council is announcing confirmed results on their official Twitter Page.
