All the results are in from the Richmondshire seats at the North Yorkshire County Council election.
There were few surprises but much relief as the independents and Conservatives held on to their seats.
The tightest result was in the Central Richmondshire contest where Helen Grant kept her seat, beating Conservative Lawrence Grose by just 120 votes.
This story continues after the adverts:
In the Upper Dales, John Blackie held his seat getting the double the votes of Conservative district council leader Yvonne Peacock.
Angus Thompson took the Richmondshire North seat which was vacant following the death of Michael Heseltine.
North Yorkshire County Council leader Carl Les held on to his Catterick Bridge seat convincingly.
Stuart Parsons held Richmond easily, while Conservative councillor Karin Sedgwick won Middle Dales – the seat vacated by Roger Harrison-Topham.
The turnout yesterday was 35.40 per cent with 12,877 people in Richmondshire casting their vote.
The Conservatives retained control of North Yorkshire County Council and increased their majority from 45 seats to 55.
