Stevenage election results: Labour gains in Old Town and Roebuck

The number of Conservative seats, which stood at 11 before the local election, is now in single figures.

The party has just nine members on the council, matching their total after the 2018 local election four years ago.

Council leader Sharon Taylor, in Symonds Green, has held her seat, and her party - Labour - has held control over the council.
