The LD -> Residents swing was actually 36% since you add up the change in percentage for the 2 parties and divide by 2.
However, since the Lib Dems didn't stand last time, it's a bit nonsensical. Had they stood last time, it's unlikely even in the worst area that you would have achieved 0%.
That's why swings in local elections are difficult to guage, if all parties don't stand in current and previous elections.
