So I now and myself living in a council area controlled (comprehensively) by Reform: Lancashire now has 53 ReformUK councillors (previously having had none!).
While the Greens saw some advance (from 2 to 4), independents gained nine seats!
To say things might look a little different in Lancashire in the coming year or so, is likely an understatement - but as some hope, perhaps having got their hands on local government, Reform may prove they are unfit to govern - we can but hope!
