It is an unfortunate fact that the Tories can get there voters to come out to vote more easily than Labour. In the wards in Hyndburn where Labour won, they won easily, with very large majorities.
Also, where there is a candidate who is a retiring councillor, many voters do vote for the person not the party. Although there were a couple of Tory councillors re-elected who have done very little for their areas but still got re-elected.
