Reports and analyses of the election results for 207 councils throughout Great Britain, with seats being contested on almost all the Scottish district councils, in most English cities and large towns , and in a handful of Welsh shire district councils. David Dimbleby presents a guide to the national picture as it emerges, and the BBC's regional political experts provide more detailed local information. Politicians and experts will be looking to see whether the electorate continues the general pattern of favouring the Conservatives for Westminster while choosing Labour to run local affairs.
