The 54 councillors are elected from 27 wards, each electing either 2 or 3 councillors. The results of the election were that 52 Labour councillors were elected, with 1 Conservative and 1 Liberal Democrat. Labour gained from the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Greens, the latter of which lost both of their remaining seats.[3]
