Local Election results across North Herts including Letchworth, Royston and surrounding areas

Full results below

Labour has failed to secure a majority in North Herts by just one seat, but the party strengthened its lead at the authority which covers Hitchin.

Before the 2019 local elections five years ago, the Conservatives had an overall majority in North Herts with 28 seats.

But after polling on Thursday, May 2, the party has been left with just seven councillors out of a possible 51, down from 15 before the vote.

Labour won 25 seats, one shy of the 26-seat threshold for a majority, up from 19.

The party ran the council as part of a joint administration with the Liberal Democrats, who had 15 seats but now have 19.
