Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
I was sorry to see in West Ward Mike Thompson lose his seat, he had worked unceasingly for the ward and many of us will remember how he was the first to alert us to the development that is to take place on Sagar Road/Clay Lane a couple of years ago.
It's good to see Jean Thompson, one of the initial intake of councillors, return to the council with her unstinting record or working for residents of Handforth.
