Suffolk Election and Referrendum Results Summary
http://blog.hargrave.org.uk/2011/05/suffolk-election-results-summary.html
The elections in Suffolk resulted in Labour re-gaining Ipswich and the Tories loosing overall control of Waveney. The results table below shows the picture across the county. (Note the comparisons are against the last full elections)
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
