Local elections results: Derby councillor reflects on 'disappointing' night

The leader of Derby Conservatives has said he was "disappointed" after his party lost councillors, while Labour gained three.

Derby City Council now has 18 Conservatives, 16 Labour, eight Lib Dems, six Reform councillors and three independents, with no party in overall control.

Chris Poulter said: "I guess overall it's disappointing. We came into this election hoping to probably at least hold our own."
