In Calderdale, Labour won four seats to give them 25 overall just one short of securing an overall majority.
..
.

Calderdale Council leader Tim Swift said: “Getting an overall majority was a big ask because he had to win a lot of very marginal seats and not lose anything.

“We lost out on one seat by 17 votes, which was the seat that would have given us the overall majority.

“I still think it was a great result for Labour.”
