The result was a second consecutive landslide victory for the Conservative Party which increased its majority on the council from 51 seats in 2017 up to 57 seats, out of a possible 62. The Labour Party lost six of its ten seats which was the party's worst result since the 2009 election when it had been left with three seats; Labour was left without any representation in five of the county's eight districts and boroughs. The remaining seat was won by an independent candidate who held her Stone Urban seat.
