BREAKING:

No party has an overall majority on Stirling Council - but the SNP are the largest party.

All the results of this year's local election have been confirmed.

Scottish Labour gained 2 seats locally, with the Conservatives losing councillors in Forth and Endrick, as well as Dunblane and Bridge of Allan.

It means the SNP have ended up with 8 councillors, Conservatives have 7, Labour have 6, with one Green councillor and one independent.

A coalition must now be formed in order for two parties to run the local authority.

Previously, it was an SNP-Labour coalition.

Chris Kane has been re-elected to Stirling Council.

The results from Stirling East are the same as 2017:
