According to LGC, there have been some councils that had notable changes after the local elections held on May 2, 2024. This information is based on the available results as of May 3 at 5:15 pm.
The political party Labour has taken control from the Conservatives in Adur DC.
Basildon BC, which was previously under Conservative control, has now shifted towards no overall control.
Castle Point Borough Council has experienced a change in leadership, shifting from having no clear ruling party to being run by independents. This shift was brought on by the success of the People's Independent Party in gaining more seats.
The local elections in Hartlepool have resulted in the Labour party gaining control after previously having no overall control. This means that they now hold the majority of seats in the council.
Hyndburn Borough Council: Labour party secures lead after previously having no majority Explanation: The original sentence indicates that the Labour party took control of the council after it previously had no majority. In other words, the party gained a majority from the previous state of no overall control. The rewritten sentence conveys the same meaning but uses different words. "Borough Council" is substituted for "BC" to make the language clearer.
The council of Kirklees MBC has transitioned from being under the control of the Labour party to having no overall control.
The Labour party has achieved victory in the recent Milton Keynes Council election, resulting in a shift of power from no particular party having control to a Labour majority. This outcome came as a surprise to many, as it was not certain which party would come out on top. However, the Labour party has undoubtedly succeeded in winning the confidence of the public in Milton Keynes, securing their mandate to lead the council. This is a significant change in local politics, and it will be interesting to see how it affects the policies of the council in the coming years.
The Conservative party no longer has control of North East Lincolnshire Council, resulting in no overall control.
In Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, the Labour party has taken control from the Conservative party.
Oldham's MBC: Labour's grip weakened to no definite control The previously dominant Labour party in Oldham's MBC (Metropolitan Borough Council) has lost its overall control over the governing administration. This was the result of a recent election in which multiple parties gained significant ground, reducing Labour's hold on the council. Consequently, the resulting council is now somewhat divided with no single party holding an unequivocal majority.
Redditch Borough Council: The Labour party has taken control from the Conservative party.
The Labour party has now taken control of Rushmoor BC from the Conservative party.
The council of Thurrock: The Labour party secured victory after a period of no clear majority.
