CONSERVATIVES have taken control of Derbyshire County Council. It is the first time in 28 years that Labour have not been in control. The Conservatives have taken 33 of the 64 seats but one seat, that of Kirk Hallam, will not be decided until July after the election there was delayed due to the death of a candidate.
