As expected Brent Council saw a big Labour majority returned with Labour taking Brondesbury for the first time since the new boundaries came in in 2002. The Tories managed to cling on in Kenton. Full results are on the Brent Council web site.
I see very little in terms of local issues in all this. It seems to be much more about national demographics, with Labour doing well in London, university towns and anywhere where there are large concentrations of ethnic minorities, but struggling to get beyond those groups in the way it will have to win the next General Election. Essentially, it needs to find a way to appeal beyond its 2017 vote blocs.
