Contents

Boundary changes had reduced the number of seats from 44 to 34, making exact comparisons with 2011 difficult. The election produced a slightly reduced majority for the ruling Conservative Group but other than a single gain by the Liberal Democrats to produce this result no other ward changed hands.
