The 2019 Allerdale Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2019, to elect all 49 members of Allerdale Borough Council in Cumbria, United Kingdom. [1] The number of councillors had been reduced from 56 at the previous election, meaning several seats were combined. Four seats were uncontested, all of which were won by members of the Conservative Party. [2] The result was a change in administration of the council, from a Labour Party minority to a coalition of Conservatives and independents. However, the council technically remains in No Overall Control. [3] [4]
