From the Council website – I haven’t done the sums myself:

•  Liberal Democrats 37
• Labour 13
• Conservatives 9
• Independent Ratepayers 3
• Independent 1

And just for fun, here are the total percentages of the votes cast in the local elections across the 7 wards in Cheadle constituency, which Mark Hunter held for the Lib Dems.  These are calculated by me, so sorry for any mistakes.

Lib Dem: 46.14%

Con: 35.49%

Lab: 9.45%

Independent Ratepayer: 6.63*

Green: 0.73% **

BNP: 1.13% **

* Only stood in one of the seven seats

** Only stood in two of the seven seats

And finally, whilst I’m in geek mode, here are the total percentages of the votes cast in the local elections across the whole of Stockport Borough, including Cheadle, Hazel Grove, Stockport and parts of Denton and Reddish constituencies:

Lib Dem:  57%

Con: 14%

Lab: 24%

Independent Ratepayers: 5%*

* Only stood in one of the 21 seats

Note: these figures supplied by Stockport Council.
