Live updates: All Bexhill Town Council results announced
The council – also referred to as Bexhill Parish Council – is made up on nine parish wards, with each holding two seats on the council.
Seven of those wards held an election on Thursday (May 6), while the other two: Bexhill Kewhurst and Bexhill St Stephens had councillors duly elected without a contest due to only having two candidates standing in each ward.
