The official list of Liberal councillors which Richard Allen spotted seems to contain a few errors due to being only sporadically updated.

The number of Liberal councillors on Slough BC has dropped from 4 to 3, and the number in Ryedale from 2 to 1. However, the number on Wyre Forest DC has risen from 5 to 7, so the total number of councillors remains correct. The official list contained two Liberal councillors I didn't know about and therefore didn't include in my initial list on this thread: one in Gateshead and one in Wolverhampton. I've checked with the BBC election results service and council website and can confirm that the Liberal Party does currently hold those two seats - though the Wolverhampton one seems to now be held by a different individual to the one listed on the official list.

Therefore, here is the corrected list. (Numbers of Liberal councillors only rather than names):

County Councillors
Worcestershire County Council: 2
Cornwall County Council: 1

District, Borough and City Councillors
Wyre Forest District Council: 7 (the Liberal group is the 3rd strongest on council, bigger than Labour or the LibDems)
Exeter City Council: 4
Liverpool City Council: 3
Peterborough City Council: 3
Torridge District Council: 3 (all of whom defected from LibDems in August)
Slough Borough Council: 3
Ryedale District Council: 1
Kerrier District Council: 1
Gateshead Council: 1
Wolverhampton City Council: 1

So I make that 27 district, borough or city councillors, and 3 county councillors. I believe the party also some parish and town councillors (I know there are some in Devon) but I don't have any numbers.
