The 2019 Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council election to elect members of Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council in England took place on 2 May 2019. [1] This was on the same day as other local elections.

Contents

One third of the council stood for election, with each successful candidate serving a four-year term of office, expiring in 2023. Prior to the election the council had been in a state of no overall control, with the Labour Party running a minority administration through a confidence and supply arrangement with The Liberal Democrats. In the election the Labour Party gained six seats and were therefore capable of forming a majority administration thereafter.
