Cllr Martin Hill, the leader of the Conservative group and of Lincolnshire County Council, said:
"I'm very pleased with the result, which nearly matches the excellent result we had four years ago.
"We have an ambitious manifesto for the future. It's all about continuing to provide good services, keeping council tax low, and an ambitious building programme for the future – not just new roads and bypasses, also new schools, better broadband across the county, and many other initiatives which we want to bring forward.
"We're going to continue to ask for more powers from government and also for more money for things like road maintenance, which was probably the most dominant theme of this election. We've always prioritised road maintenance but I think we need more help from government to continue the good work.
"We'll do our very best for you over the next four years."
