Local elections 2023: Greens celebrate history-making win

Green Party councillors cheered as the party secured sole control of an English council for the first time.

They won 24 seats on Mid Suffolk District Council, six more than was needed for majority on the 34-seat authority.

The council was previously run by a 16-seat minority Conservative administration.

Andy Mellen, leader of the Green Party in Mid Suffolk, said: "We are looking forward to getting to work."
