County councils have bucked the trend of Conservative success in the local elections, with a mixed picture for the party. In Hertfordshire CC, Conservative leader and chairman of the County Councils' Network (CCN), David Williams, lost his seat. His departure will leave CCN bereft of leadership as vice-chairman Nick Rushton left following Leicestershire CC's exit from the Local Government Association. A CCN spokesperson confirmed Cllr Williams would step down. In Oxfordshire CC, leader Ian Hudspeth lost his seat to a Lib Dem - one of seven Tories to be removed by voters - while Cambridgeshire CC returned to no overall control after four years of Conservative rule. In Surrey CC, the party had its majority slashed to just six, holding just 47 of the 81 seats, while in Kent CC, the party dropped from 67 seats to 61, with a further seat to face a by-election following the death of a candidate.
