Winner of each seat at the 2019 Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council election.

Elections to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council took place on 2 May 2019. This was on the same day as other local elections across the United Kingdom. [1] Following the trend of the elections across the UK, the Liberal Democrats made significant gains in the popular vote at the cost of the Conservative Party and Labour. This resulted in the Liberal Democrats gaining two seats from both other parties; enough to cause the Conservatives to lose control of the council for the first time in seventeen years. The period of no overall control would not last long however, with the Conservatives regaining control at the next local election.
