Aftermath

Tom FitzPatrick (Fakenham) replaced Bill Borrett as Conservative group leader on 1 May 2014,^[17] however less than 10 months later he was successfully challenged by Cliff Jordan (Yare & All Saints) in the following March.^[18]

The 'Rainbow Alliance'^[19] of UKIP, Labour, and the Liberal Democrats with support from the Greens ran the Council until May 2016, with George Nobbs being re-elected by 43 votes to 40 in 2014,^[20] and by 42 to 39 in 2015.^[21] However, on 9 May 2016 the Alliance collapsed when the Green Party withdrew its support and abstained in the election for Leader, and Conservative Cliff Jordan won by 41 votes to 37.^[22] This enabled the Conservatives to run the Council through a minority administration until the local elections in May 2017.
