Numbers
No final tally - a few recounts still going on, some wards where the election has been delayed until next month - but this is where they four main parties stand:
Labour down from 471 to 343 (- 128)
Plaid Cymru up from 177 - 204 (+ 27) and within one of their tally in '99, their best year ever - proof perhaps that statistics rarely tell the whole story?)
Conservatives: 110 - 171 (+ 61)
Liberal Democrats: 143 - 161 (+18) - despite every effort to oust them.
Independent candidates: 348 (+26) - 5 more than Labour
Others, including small parties: 26 (-2) - 8 People's Voice, 12 Llais Gwynedd among them
