Conservatives sweep the board in the Anglia shires
The Conservatives have swept to power in all of the Anglia region's County Councils with increased and secure majorities on every one.
All the other parties lost seats in the region and UKIP were wiped out - losing every single one of the 48 councillors who were elected in 2013
The Conservatives won more than two-thirds of the county council seats in the Anglia region and the icing on the cake was winning the first election for the new Metro Mayor in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The Tories won back power in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk which had been hung councils since 2013. The party had also lost its overall majority in Suffolk since the 2013 election but won it back with a majority of 29.
