This year's local elections proved 'devastating' for Trafford's Conservatives after the party lost their leader and four seats in the council chamber. Once a flagship Tory town hall, the party's share of the vote has 'completely collapsed', according to their rivals.
Labour gained one seat - retaining overall council control - as did the Greens. The Liberal Democrats gained two. All gains were from the Conservatives.
The group's leader, Nathan Evans, lost his seat in Timperley by a decisive margin to Lib Dem Will Frass.
