Just two council seats were up for grabs this week - a Lib Dem defence in Cambridgeshire and a Conservative defence in Lancashire. The Lib Dems easily held in Cambridge, increasing their majority in the Trumpington ward. However, the Conservatives were shocked in Wyre, where an independent candidate came from nowhere to take the blue seat. Labour also saw their share of the vote slump here.
