Overwhelming Labour majority; expect this to continue, though may be reduced somewhat. No Tories at all on the Council.

Apart from the usual stuff about building, planning permission, etc., Low Traffic Neighbourhoods are controversial, and some people are making them an issue- even though that sort of thing is really up to the County Council, who are not up for election this year.

Unusually for a Council election, I haven't heard anything so far about wheelie bins!
