Most recent election (2018)
In 2018, 13 seats were up across 13 wards. The table below shows what each party actually won — alongside what they would have won if the 13 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative Party | 10,087 | 54.0% | 11 | 84.6% | 8 | 61.5% | +3 |
| Labour Party | 5,437 | 29.1% | 2 | 15.4% | 4 | 30.8% | -2 |
| Liberal Democrats | 2,429 | 13.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 1 | 7.7% | -1 |
| Green Party | 350 | 1.9% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| UK Independence Party (UKIP) | 264 | 1.4% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Independent | 112 | 0.6% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Total | 18,679 | 100.0% | 13 | 100.0% | 13 | 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.
Council composition: what this election replaced
Two opencouncildata snapshots: the council immediately after the 2018 election (current) and immediately before it (2017). Only ~⅓ of seats were contested in 2018 — most of the bench is unchanged, and the cycle's effect on the overall composition is what shifts.

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.
