Summary

edit

Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control. The Conservative leader of the council, Richard Cook, who had been leader of the council since 2019, chose not to stand for re-election.[4]

After the election the council was left under no overall control with the Liberal Democrats as the largest party. They subsequently formed a minority administration, with their group leader, Jeremy Hilton, being appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 20 May 2024. The Conservatives appointed Stephanie Chambers to be their new group leader in opposition.[5]
