Tories retain control of Essex but only just

With just three seats yet to declare in Essex, the Conservatives have retained control of Essex County Council but with a severely reduced majority.
UKIP made eight gains and the Greens two. Labour also bounced back after the poor result four years ago.
38 councillors are required for an overall majority in Essex; the Conservatives currently have 40 seats.

Harpenden SW I missed the detail cos I'd gone out for a smoke, though I heard the declaration and t was a pretty massive Tory win (which you'd expceet of course, but perhaps bigger than you'd expect at the moment - something like 2,500 for the Tories and around 3-400 for each of the others)

poor result for Labour. Interestingly we had a paper candidate from Hoddesdon here yet did better than in North where we had a local candidate who had done leaflets etc (thoughh to be fair to him he had been unwell for most of the campaign). Perhaps more potential here than I realised (and I was originally going to stand here) - not sure though if its predoiminantly in the St Stephens area (which I suspect) or maybe the Cottonmill
