Background and election campaign

Gloucestershire in 2017.

Gloucestershire in 2019.

In the 2017 Gloucestershire County Council election, the Conservatives won overall control of the council.^[3]

At the 2019 United Kingdom general election, the Labour Party lost their only parliamentary seat in Gloucestershire.

Before the election, the council consisted of 28 Conservatives, 13 Liberal Democrats, 5 Labour (4 being Labour Co-op), 2 Green, 1 People Against Bureaucracy, 3 Independents and 1 vacant seat.^[4]

There was some controversy over alleged delivery of election material and campaigning due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. One candidate in the election was reported to the Gloucestershire Constabulary for allegedly breaching lockdown regulations but she denied this and claimed that the leaflets were not election related. The Liberal Democrats in the county claimed that it was a politically motivated attack on their campaign by the Conservative Party.^[5]
