At a very local level, I copied it from elsewhere, this is what happened in Burnley, a labour and Brexit supporting town (the B&P are Brexit supporting lib Dems).
Former Labour Mayor Liz Monk saw her 2015 majority of 450 disappear in Trinity, and lost to the Green party Candidate by 561 votes.
Another former Labour Mayor, Howard Baker, now standing for the Lib Dems regained Coalclough & Deerplay from Labour by just 30 votes, from the Burnley & Padiham Independents, Labour came in 3rd.
Labour's John Harbour just retained his Gawthorpe seat, by 9 votes from UKIP's Karen Ingham, his majority in 2015 was 887 !!
UKIP's Peter Gill comfortably won Hapton with Park,with a majority of 434 from Labour in the seat vacated by Julie Cooper's PA, Joanne Greenwood. The Green Candidate came third ..
B&P Independent's Lorraine Mehanna defeated Labour's Gail Barton in Rosegrove with Lowerhouse with a 212 majority.
In Rosehill with Burnleywood, Lib Dem Tracy Kennedy retook the seat for her party from Labour's Margaret Brindle, who defected from the Lib Dems in February 2017, with a majority of 242.
The closest race was in Whittlefield with Ightenhill, traditionally a Consevative/Lib Dem shootout. The Conservative's Ida Carmichael retired after 21 years service, but the B&P Independent's Emma Payne took the ward with a majority of just 3, from the Green Party's Laura Fisk ( 593 - 590 ). Conservative Don Whittaker came third with 401 votes, whilst the LibDems polled just 59 votes. The retirement of the much liked & respected Coun. Tom Porter in 2018 seems to have hit their vote hard.
All the other seats remained the same.
