The four county council seats up for grabs in Brentwood have been shared equally between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
The Conservatives held Hutton and Brentwood Rural while the Liberal Democrats kept Brentwood North and Brentwood South.
Three of the four county councillors elected in Brentwood in 2009 kept their seats, namely Ann Naylor (Con, Brentwood Rural): Barry Aspinell (Lib Dem, Brentwood North: and David Kendall (Brentwood South):
The Hutton seat was won by Roger Hirst (Con), who is also the deputy leader of Brentwood Borough Council.

Ukip's candidate for Brentwood Rural, Yvonne Maguire, finished in second place around 400 votes behind Dr Naylor.
Turnout across the borough was around 30 per cent.
The results were announced at the Brentwood Centre, in Doddinghurst Road, last night.
