A couple of corrections to Stephanie's useful e-mail. Patrick Murray would
consider it an insult to have Labour after his name: he's a LibDem. And the
overall situation on the Council is now:
Labour 23
LibDem 16
Green 7
IWCA 2
So, there is still no overall control but the general expectation is that
Labour will seek to form a minority administration.
Finally, thanks to all of those who went out and voted, for whichever party
it was.
