Conservatives across Broadland will be celebrating today, after holding all their seats in the county election, including the current county council leader.
While there are some fresh faces coming from Broadland after conservative Brian Iles and Liberal Democrat David Harrison stood down, the political make-up remains the same.
In total 11 conservatives and two Liberal Democrats will be representing Broadland in County Hall.
Andrew Proctor, the current leader of the County Council and councillor for Blofield and Brundall, said they had been elected on a manifesto for Norfolk.
He said: “There are three key strands, one is the post-covid situation, we have got to move on and rebuild our economy.
“We have big investment plans for Norfolk, we are investing in care, we are investing in the services that people want us to deliver, and also the big infrastructure project such as those in Great Yarmouth and the Norwich Western Link.
“The third limb of that is all about how we keep working for all our citizens across the whole of the county.
“That’s the most important thing, we are here to serve all the residents and businesses in Norfolk.”
The Liberal Democrats made large gains in Drayton and Horsford, where they were 211 votes shy of incumbent Tony Adams - an increase of 614 votes over the 2017 election.
Aylsham also proved to be hotly contested, with just 21 votes in it between Liberal Democrat, Steve Riley, and Conservative Hal Turkmen, forcing a recount.
Mr Riley, who replaces David Harrison, said it had been a hard-fought campaign and he was looking forward to working hard for the community.
"I have always worked hard for the people of Aylsham as a district councillor and now I can do more for them as a county councillor."
Hellesdon saw one of the highest postal vote counts in the county at 49pc of all ballots.
Shelagh Gurney, the returning Hellesdon thanked the community for re-electing her to the county council.
"This is my 21st year on the county council," she said. "I would like to thank all the residents who supported me with their vote."
