It was Labour's day at the local elections in Bridgend as the party took back control of a council it lost five years ago. Labour and independents saw the biggest gains, with Labour securing 27 seats and independent candidates winning 21.
The Conservatives saw the biggest loss, going from 11 councillors five years ago to a single councillor this time.
Although Labour came out on top, the independents by far saw the biggest increase in seats, with eight more councillors winning this year compared to five years ago. Ward boundaries have changed this election meaning a direct comparison to result on a ward-by-ward basis is not simple.
