Most recent election (2022)
In 2022, 65 seats were up across 43 wards. The table below shows what each party actually won — alongside what they would have won if the 65 seats had been shared in proportion to votes received (how, with caveats). The Δ column is the actual seat count minus the proportional seat count — positive numbers are parties First-Past-the-Post over-represented; negative are parties it under-represented.
| Party | Votes | Vote % | Seats won | % of seats | Proportional seats | Proportional % | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independent | 28,036 | 44.5% | 27 | 41.5% | 29 | 44.6% | -2 |
| Labour Party | 25,410 | 40.3% | 32 | 49.2% | 27 | 41.5% | +5 |
| Liberal Democrats | 4,179 | 6.6% | 4 | 6.2% | 4 | 6.2% | 0 |
| Conservative Party | 3,911 | 6.2% | 2 | 3.1% | 4 | 6.2% | -2 |

Vote share vs seats won
The top bar is each party's share of votes cast in this council. Below, one square per seat, coloured by the party that won it — first the actual First-Past-the-Post result, then what a proportional method would have produced from the same vote totals. Divergence between the bar and the actual grid is the indictment of the method.

Ward by ward
Each row is a ward, each column a cycle. Each cell shows the top-of-poll candidate's party (swatch) and their share of valid ballots. Wards are matched by name across cycles — boundary reviews can mean a ward of the same name is a slightly different area in a later cycle.
