The buzz around the hall is picking up as it was confirmed that Labour has retained its majority control with eight seats either held or won today. All seats announced so far have been won by either the Labour Party or the Liberal Democrats.

Labour candidates continue to roar in approval at the election of their party members.

Penistone East, projected to be a hotly contested seat between the Labour and Conservatives is the one to watch as the day progresses. We have heard that the ballot papers look evenly stacked between the two parties and it could come down to less than 200 votes.
