It was a huge day for Labour in the Metrodome, gaining 16 seats to take a council majority of 48 seats to 15. Its majority council was declared well before most of the election results had been announced in Barnsley.

A horrendous day for the Conservatives saw them lose one of its only seats on the council. Cllr Robert Barnard, Penistone East, remains as the only Tory councillor.

The Liberal Democrats increased its total number of councillors by one, with four seats total taken on the day.

Despite some traction nationally, Reform UK failed to gain a seat.
