Reform gains on county council

Reform has already claimed 30 seats on Lincolnshire County Council with just over half of the votes being counted as we publish.

We may see an end to the Conservative reign over the local authority as the party has so far only won one seat. 

Three of the Lincoln wards seats on council have also turned turquoise on the political map with voters in Swallowbeck and Witham, Hartsholme and Birchwood all opting for Reform candidates,

Labour has won Boultham, Carholme and Ermine and Cathedral wards while the Liberal Democrats have taken Park and St Giles.

We will update the full results later today.
