Labour gained control of the council from the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru, after gaining 32 seats.[3] The Liberal Democrat leader of the council, Rodney Berman, lost his seat by 51 votes after two recounts,[4] bringing Labour's gains to 33. Sixty-one-year-old Labour councillor Heather Joyce, nicknamed 'Supernan' by the local newspaper, became the new council leader.[5]
