Results from the West Sussex County Council election were announced yesterday (Saturday), with the Tories retaining all five Adur seats.

Their success carried into today, taking 11 of 18 seats available. Labour picked up five, one for the Greens and one independent Joss Loader was elected.

This means the Conservatives have 19 seats in total compared to Labour’s 7, with two independents and one Green.
