Following the results announcement, Conservative Council Leader Martin Hill said: “That’s a very strong result.
“We have a very strong manifesto […] which is basically all about keeping council tax low, services good and also an ambitious programme of building and development.
“I’m very pleased the hard work of candidates and Conservative councillors of the past four years has been recognised and rewarded and I look forward to the next four years.
“Hopefully we will serve the public of this county as best we can.”
