REFORM UK has announced its team of councillors in North West Essex following sweeping success in the Essex County Council elections.
In Uttlesford, the new councillor team includes Kevin Mordrick for Dunmow, Bo Davis for Thaxted and Geoff Bagnall for Takeley.
Seats in Saffron Walden and Stansted were won by Paul Gadd for Residents for Uttlesford and Ray Gooding for the Conservative Party, respectively.
This comes as Reform UK secured more than 1,400 council seats nationally, now controlling 14 councils.
A Reform UK spokesperson said: "In Essex, Reform UK took control of Essex County Council, with Kemi Badenoch’s own constituency turning turquoise.
"Based on these results, North West Essex is now fully competitive at all levels unlike local independents."
The new councillors vow they will focus on "putting local people first, potholes, delivering value for taxpayers, and standing up for communities across the district".
