 Elected Party

Conservative

The conservative administration was re-elected with an increased majority and, as in Suffolk and Kent, the liberal democrats replaced labour as the main opposition party.

The conservatives increased their majority on the council from 10 to a comfortable 36 seats with a net gain of 14 seats. They held virtually all of their seats across the county, but made a net loss of 1 seat to the liberal democrats in North Norfolk.

The liberal democrats performed well in the North Norfolk area through making a net gain of 1 against the Conservatives, and gaining Thetford West from Labour in Breckland, but lost seats to the conservatives in King's Lynn & West Norfolk and South Norfolk as the latter swept the board. Despite the party's flat-lining, they became the official opposition to the governing conservative administration.

Labour, just as had been the case across the rest of the country, suffered heavy losses to all parties and especially to the conservatives being left with just 3 seats across the county, being pushed in to 4th place behind the Green Party for the first time.

The green party made gains, particularly in Norwich where they won a majority of seats, which built upon their successes in city elections over the preceding years. They won more seats than labour across the county, but did not beat them in share of vote.

The United Kingdom Independence Party stood candidates in some seats, winning one in Great Yarmouth from Labour.

Other parties and independent candidates stood without winning seats and making little impact.
