Most recent election (2024)
In 2024, 14 seats were up across 13 wards. The table below shows what each party actually won — alongside what they would have won if the 14 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liberal Democrats | 13,481 | 47.4% | 12 | 85.7% | 7 | 50.0% | +5 |
| Conservative Party | 7,342 | 25.8% | 0 | 0.0% | 4 | 28.6% | -4 |
| Green Party | 2,940 | 10.3% | 0 | 0.0% | 1 | 7.1% | -1 |
| Independent | 2,535 | 8.9% | 2 | 14.3% | 1 | 7.1% | +1 |
| Labour Party | 1,931 | 6.8% | 0 | 0.0% | 1 | 7.1% | -1 |
| Reform UK | 186 | 0.7% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Total | 28,415 | 100.0% | 14 | 100.0% | 14 | 100.0% | 0 |
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.
