Extraordinary swing result for the LibDems!
The final picture is that the Liberal Democrats have overall control of @bathnes with 37 councillors. The Conservatives had 35 councillors and now have just 11. There are six independents (but none from BIG) and five Labour members #Bathneslocals2019

Hi @BathStudioFilm and good luck to all for tomorrow's #BANESdebate - our question is: with no one party or group expected to have overall control of the council, which party or group would you most expect your party or group to try to form a coalition with and why?

Here's how the councillor numbers look now. Bathnes has been run by a Conservative majority since 2015. With no one party looking able to gain the 30 seats needed to achieve a majority, the most likely outcome looks to be NOC, where no one party has overall control
