In Barrow, Labour has taken Hindpool and the Conservatives have won Roosecote.

None of these results will affect which party controls the councils.

The result of the police and crime commissioner vote will be announced on Monday.

Results are still being counted for other council elections, as well as for two mayors and four police and crime commissioners, and it may not be until Monday before they are all announced.

Ones due today are the Cleveland and Northumbria PCCs, and the Tees Valley Mayor.

North Tyneside Council could be today or Saturday.

On Saturday there will be the Durham PCC, North Tyneside Mayor, and Durham County Council along with Hartlepool Council.

All eyes are likely to be on the latter in the light of the Tories winning the parliamentary seat.

The council's 36 seats are up for grabs, and currently with no overall control, it is led by a coalition involving Conservatives, all manner of independents and other groups.

Cumbria PCC results are then due to be announced on Monday.

Club president Mike Sweeney said: "In places it's beyond knee deep, a heavy powder to start with and it got a bit slushy during the day and then it clouded over and the temperatures dropped and it got firmer again."

There's been more snow today, and more skiers are expected.

Mr Sweeney added: "It's about an hour's climb to the tow from our car park and if you're carrying skis and boots, and the snow's deep, it's more than that, but we're not complaining as we've got the only lift in western Europe as far as I'm aware."
