Voters on Anglesey have been to the polls to elect their representatives on the local authority, after suffering years of mismanagement by a coalition of independent councillors.

The council, which was taken into the control of Welsh Government-appointed commissioners in 2011, now has 12 Plaid Cymru councillors, making the Party of Wales the largest party on the island ahead of the Labour Party, who have three, and the Liberal Democrats, who have one.

Speaking after the result was announced, a Plaid Cymru spokesperson, said: “This result is not only testament to the hard work of local candidates and members but also reflects the desire of local people to have a strong and effective group of local councillors that they can trust”.
