Labour slipped back slightly as it lost one council seat in the final round of by-elections this year.
Jeremy Corbyn’s party could not hold to its ward in Newcastle-under-Lyme, where the Tories scored a narrow win, but comfortably retained four other seats.
The Commons constituency of Newcastle-under-Lyme is a highly marginal seat where Labour MP Paul Farrelly has a majority of just 30.
