ALFORD & SUTTON (LINC IND GAIN):
STEVE PALMER (LINC IND) 872:
"I'm extremely pleased. I put a lot of hard work into the campaign and I'm happy that the voters have realised that local councils should not be tied to tribal party politics. People in Lincolnshire are very independent-minded, as the results of the Police and Crime Commissioner election showed. They are also fed up with the standard of the roads, the threat to libraries and social housing going to people outside of the community."

HORNCASTLE & TETFORD (LINC IND HOLD):
BILL ARON (LINC IND) 1378:
"I'm delighted. From a very narrow majority four years ago when I won by just two votes I have now got a majority of just over 700. It is a fantastic result and I would like to thank everybody who has supported me. It was a good night for the Lincolnshire Independents and I think the fact that we are trying to keep party politics out of the county council has been our strength."

LOUTH NORTH (LAB GAIN):
SARAH DODDS (LAB) 857:
"I'm absolutely delighted, not just to have won the seat, but to have done so with a 33 per cent swing to Labour. It is a real testament to the team that I had behind me on the campaign and a reflection of how disillusioned people are with this Conservative government. I am really pleased to be able to give people a viable and strong alternative for Louth."

LOUTH RURAL NORTH (CON HOLD):
TONY BRIDGES (CON) 783:
"I am absolutely delighted to be elected as a member of Lincolnshire County Council, but not quite so delighted at the fact we have lost quite a number of colleagues through UKIP success. I focused my campaign on local issues and I believe that UKIP success is a protest vote based on national policies. I think the voters of Louth Rural North want strong leadership and that is what I have been able to give on East Lindsey District Council for the last six or seven years."
