Most recent election (2018)
In 2018, 1 seat was up across 1 ward. The table below shows what each party actually won — alongside what they would have won if the 1 seat 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 | 558 | 39.3% | 1 | 100.0% | 1 | 100.0% | 0 |
| Green Party | 508 | 35.8% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Labour Party | 354 | 24.9% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Total | 1,420 | 100.0% | 1 | 100.0% | 1 | 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.
