First election results announced in Cornwall
BBCResults are being announced for the local elections in Cornwall, with 87 councillors set to be elected.
The first two seats went to Reform UK, with Rob Heslington winning Gwinear-Gwithian and Hayle East and Bruce Craze winning Four Lanes, Beacon and Troon.
Reform also won nine other seats, including Camborne West, Pool and Tehidy, and Hayle West.
More than half the seats have now been declared.
Polling stations closed on Thursday and the counts are taking place at Bodmin Leisure Centre, Carn Brea Leisure Centre and Truro Cathedral.
Speaking at the Carn Brea count, Reform's Mr Craze said: "I want them [people of Cornwall] to get a fair system with quality services, but to sort out the finances so people's council tax is not going on debt payments but on actual services for them."
Pauline Dawn Giles, who was re-elected to represent St Blazey for the Conservatives, said it was going to be a "tough time" for Cornwall Council.
She said: "We're in a budget hole at the moment and we're going to have to work really, really hard, and I hope all these new councillors that are coming in understand there is some big work to do."
Tim Dwelly, who was elected as the independent councillor for Penzance East, said the non-Reform councillors would create a coalition administration that "keeps them [Reform] from running anything".
He said: "I don't doubt for a minute that independents, Liberal Democrats, Labour, Mebyon Kernow and Greens will have a lot in common and will work together."
