‘Independents and others’ category may include multiple groups and so not give any single one overall control even when these total more than 50% of councillors.

Council control is accurate following the elections of 6 May 2021. Control can change as a result of defections or by-elections. Information compiled by Professor Colin Rallings and Professor Michael Thrasher, associate members, Nuffield College, Oxford.
