The Tories shed nine seats in yesterday’s poll.
Prior to the election, the party accounted for almost half of the total number of councillors on the authority, with a tally of 14; now, it has just five and is a distant second to the new Boston Independent group, which saw 18 of its 24 candidates elected.
Elsewhere, five seats went to independent candidates, one to a Blue Revolution candidate, and one to the Liberal Democrats.
Labour now has no representation on the council. Prior to the election, it held two seats on the council – Fenside, where it finished third, 13 votes behind the Tories; and Station, where it did not field a candidate. It only fielded three candidates in total.
