Election results: Tories lose control of Peterborough

The Greens' Nicola Day took Orton Waterville from the Conservatives
The Conservatives have lost power in Peterborough as the council moved to no overall control.
The Tories, who took control in 2018, lost three seats to Labour, one to the Liberal Democrats and one to the Greens but also gained one from Labour.
Labour also took UKIP's only seat. The Lib Dems lost a seat to Labour but gained one from the Tories.
In Cambridge, Labour held on to the council, while the Tories retained East Cambridgeshire.
Labour held the nine seats it was defending on Cambridge City Council and the Lib Dems have gained a seat, taking Market ward from the Greens.
Despite the Tories holding on to East Cambridgeshire District Council, there were significant gains for the Liberal Democrats who won 11 seats from the Conservatives and one from an independent.
'Could have been worse'
In Peterborough, Labour gained three seats and the Liberal Democrats two, with the Greens also taking a second seat.
The council's Conservative leader John Holditch admitted "it was frustrating" his party had lost councillors but "it could have been worse".
He said: "We will do what we think's best for Peterborough and we believe that is to keep control, but obviously it is not in our hands.
"We've been bouncing from no overall control to control by a slender one for some time now."
A parliamentary by-election to find a replacement for ousted Peterborough MP Fiona Onasanya will be held on 6 June and she has said she will not stand.
Fenland District Council, where a quarter of its seats were uncontested, remained in Tory control, despite the party losing eight seats.
The Conservatives defended 34 seats, winning 26. while independents won 10 seats, a gain of seven.
The Green Party's Simon Wilkes ousted long-serving Tory Kit Owen to win the party's only seat.
