The leader of Devon County Council says he's not worried about the rise of UKIP at this year's local elections.
The Conservatives maintained control, although UKIP took four seats for the first time.
The Tories have 38 and the Liberal Democrats nine, with both losing seats.
Labour took two seats in Exeter from the Lib Dems, giving them seven.
There's been a lot of debate on the message being sent to the Government by a surge in electoral support for the UK Independence Part.
But leader John Hart doesn't think political affiliations matter so much when they're making local decisions.
