The Conservatives have won eight of the nine seats available across the Ilkley & Addingham, Wharfedale and Airedale wards.
Andrew Loy, Richard Downey and Jane Sellers have all elected to represent the Ilkley and Addingham ward on Bradford Council.
MP Robbie Moore commented on social media after the Ilkley results were announced:
"An absolutely brilliant result in Ilkley & Addingham - a completely united team and one gain from the Greens.
"A huge congratulations to Andrew, Jane and Richard - residents have spoken!"
The Conservatives had good results in nearby wards, taking all three seats in the Airedale ward with George Buckley, Peter Kirk and Raph Cohn all elected. Robbie Moore commented that 'Steeton, Silsden and Eastburn couldn’t have chosen a more hardworking team.'
In the Wharfedale ward, Bob Felstead and Peter Cochrane were elected for the Conservatives, and Lottie Kitching won a seat for the Green Party.
Ilkley and Addingham has the largest turnout with 63% - Wharfedale was 57% and Airedale 50%.
The final make up of Bradford Council is still be decided as the ward counting continues on Saturday.
The first scheduled Council meeting after the results are counted will be the Council AGM on 19 May 2026. At this meeting the new councillors will votes for a Lord Mayor - a non political, ceremonial role.
