Tonight, there are a series of councils that Labour should watch; councils where Labour could take control and where gains are likely.
Here is a list of these councils, along with the time that we are anticipating their results to be declared.
If you are at a count for one of these councils or have any news on ward/council results, please tweet me @laurawilkes and I’ll get it on the live blog.
