Labour gained a seat in Park ward – once seen as the safest Lib Dem ward on the council and only ever won by Lib Dem candidates since the creation of the authority. The Liberal Democrats were also reduced to just four seats – below their previous low point of just 5 seats after the 1999 local elections. The Conservatives won no wards within the Great Grimsby constituency on the authority – only the second time this had happened in the authority's history, the first being the inaugural elections in 1995. UKIP also won their first seat on the authority in Scartho, a seat that was considered safe for the Conservatives, having won it at every local election since 1999.North East Lincolnshire Council Election Results 1995-2012 http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/North-East-Lincolnshire-1995-2012.pdf live electionscentre.co.uk https://web.archive.org/web/20180616204128/http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/North-East-Lincolnshire-1995-2012.pdf 16 June 2018 UKIP also made considerable progress in many other wards which they would go on to win over the next few years, including Humberston & New Waltham, where at these elections, UKIP came little over 200 votes short of defeating Conservative councillor and Grimsby Town Football Club chairman John Fenty, a seat which UKIP would gain at a by-election in 2013 following the death of Fenty's fellow councillor, John Colebrook, and successfully held this seat when it was next up for election in 2014.
