COLCHESTER Council will continue to be run by a Lib Dem-Labour-Independent coalition.

The combined parties have 33 seats, taking them past the 30 majority needed to form an administration.

The official announcement was made at a meeting this morning.

The cabinet line up will be revealed later this month.
