Suffolk has been a favourite county for hosting stages of some of Britain's major cycling races in recent years.

In the inaugral Women's Tour in 2014, the third stage went from Felixstowe to Clacton.

In 2015, stage one ended in Aldeburgh where Lizzie Armitstead crashed at the finish line, while stage two went from Braintree in Essex to Clacton, via Sudbury and Hadleigh.

The 2016 event had a stage from Southwold to Norwich, while last year featured a stage beteen Framlingham and Southwold.

For the men's Tour of Britain, the opening stage in 2012 went from Ipswich to Norwich.

In 2015, it was back in Norfolk and Suffolk, including a sprint section on the runway at the Army's Wattisham airfield.

In 2017, the men had a sprint time trial at Clacton in Essex, followed by a stage six jaunt between Newmarket and Aldeburgh in Suffolk.

It’s been a good day to be a Green or Independent in Suffolk, and a bad day to be a Conservative leader.

The Greens and independents have torn through the majorities of the Conservatives at Mid Suffolk, Babergh and the new West Suffolk district councils taking some senior Tories down with them.

At West Suffolk, they are in control as they were at the two councils it has replaced - Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury.

However, in the process they lost three West Suffolk Conservative heavyweights - the former leader of Forest Heath James Waters, the former Suffolk County Council leader Colin Noble and West Suffolk Conservative Association chairman Lance Stansbury.

When asked why they thought they had not retained district council seats, they told me it was the failure to deliver Brexit and because of that their message about local issues weren’t getting through.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk Tories didn’t even manage to keep hold of their councils. They have now gone to no overcall control with the Greens taking the share of the gains, but it was an independent who managed to unseat the Mid Suffolk Conservative leader Nick Gowrley.

A different picture for the new East Suffolk Council where the Conservatives have retained their hold in the area formerly covered by Waveney and Suffolk Coastal councils where the merger has created the largest district council in the country by population.

The Conservatives didn’t get away completely unscathed though, they lost the ex-leader of Waveney District Council and Suffolk County Council Mark Bee - he lost his seat to the Greens.

The Conservatives were punished here in a county which had a majority of people vote to leave the EU.

Labour wasn’t punished - the party gained seats in Ipswich - the only Suffolk council it controls and they also have more seats on West Suffolk than they did on both Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury.

Protest vote, Brexit backlash or maybe the need for some new politics, who knows what voters were thinking?

What we can be sure of is that what they decided on will be a new era for politics at district level in Suffolk.

At the newly-formed East Suffolk Council the Conservatives dominated the first election building a majority of 23 over all other parties.

Labour and Conservatives lost out and the result is an overall council of 39 Conservatives, seven Labour members, four Greens, three Lib Dems and two independents.

This was the first election for the new council which has been formed from a merger of Waveney District Council and Suffolk Coastal District Council.

Both defunct councils were controlled by the Conservatives before the merger, which sees one district council covering the Suffolk coast from Lowestoft to Feilxstowe.

A former leader of the Conservatives on both Suffolk County Council and Waveney District Council, Mark Bee has failed to be elected to the new East Suffolk Council.

BBC

He left his post at the county council in 2015 after four years in charge following a cabinet row and an unsuccessful challenge to his leadership.

East Suffolk has been created from a merger of Waveney District Council and Suffolk Coastal District Council.

Another ex-leader of the county council - Conservative Colin Noble - has failed to be elected to West Suffolk Council.

The authority has also held its first elections since it was formed from a merger of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council.

More than 33,000 ballot papers were issued in the West Suffolk council election.

The council has only been in existence for a month, having been formed from a merger of Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury.

The council said the turnout was 31.79%.

Votes will be counted from 09:00 BST, with a result expected at about 14:00.
