With first results expected at 11.30am, we’ll be bringing you the latest from across Sheffield and Barnsley this morning.
There are 29 seats up for grabs in Sheffield and 21 in Barnsley.
It’s been a bleak night for the Tories across the country, but in Sheffield all eyes are on Labour and Lib Dem. Labour are still the largest party in the Steel City but hold just one more seat than the Lib Dems, meaning no party is in overall control.
Labour have lost eight seats in Sheffield since the 2023 election after seven long-standing councillors formed the Sheffield Community Councillors group. Abtisam Mohammed also stepped down from her Firth Park ward so she can stand as an MP in the next GE.
Barnsley is currently a Labour council, with 48 of the total 63 seats held by the party.
More to come throughout the morning.
