Full results: Labour increases majority and wins in historic Tory ward in Barnsley

The day’s big winner are the Independents – Jake Lodge (Worsbrough) and Andrew Wray (Rockingham) – and Alexander Burnett from Penistone East who is the ward’s first not Tory councillor since 1999.

The turnout was slightly down (24.72% compared with 25.88% last year) but there was no huge swing in either direction.
