Though the Conservatives maintained their majority on the council, there was a major shock result that saw the incumbent Conservative leader of the council, Peter Nutting, lose his seat to a Liberal Democrat challenger.[1] He was replaced as leader of the council by Conservative Lezley Picton at the AGM held later that month.[2]
