Former city council leader Marco Cereste comfortably held onto his seat in Hampton Vale.

The Conservatives continue to hold all three seats in the ward.

Mr Cereste said: "I'm absolutely over the moon. I moved into a new ward two years ago and only managed to win by 30 votes. I've taken that majority to 230 votes so I'm over the moon and I only have the people of Hampton to thank.

"They've really turned out to support me. They are wonderful people and it's a wonderful place and I'm absolutely delighted to return to be their councillor.
