A Liberal Democrat councillor is warning Lancashire is facing a very rocky 12 months and he's fearful as Reform UK step up to lead the county council.

The surging popularity of Reform UK means they now have a Lancashire County Council majority, with results still coming in.

That means the Conservative administration will leave County Hall in the hands of Reform, which opposition councillors have said has no experience of what it's like to run a county council.

Group leader of the Liberal Democrats David Howarth retained his Penwortham West seat, with nearly double the votes of Reform's Wayne Griffiths in second, but he is now worried about what the future holds.
