Summary

The council was under Conservative majority control prior to the election. Following the results, the Conservatives remained the largest party, but lost their majority, leaving the council under no overall control.[2] One of the Conservatives to lose his seat was the leader of the council, Seb Lowe. The Conservatives managed to form a minority administration after the election, and appointed Derek Poole as their new leader. He was confirmed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 18 May 2023.[3] The Labour group also changed their leader after the election; former leader Maggie O'Rourke was appointed mayor, and Michael Moran became the new Labour leader.[4]
