So overall the Tories have exactly the same number of seats they had at the last elections although accounting for by-elections they did loose around 4 seats.

Labour picked up seats across the county especially in their urban heartlands in Waveney and Ipswich but they do now have at least 1 seat on each council.

The Lib Dems lost almost the same number of seats labour gained (20) in what was a very bad night nationally although they have avoided the complete wipeout seen in parts of the Midlands and the North
