On 29 March 2022, the Local Government Boundary Commission announced the completion of their review of Stratford-on-Avon's ward boundaries. The final recommendation increased the number of councillors from 36 to 41 and the number of wards from 37 to 39. This consisted of 37 single member wards and two 2-member wards. These proposals were approved by Parliament in November 2022 to come into force for the council elections held in May 2023. [5] [6]
Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control.
At the election, the Liberal Democrats gained overall control of the council for the first time. It was also the first time that any party other than the Conservatives had secured a majority since the creation of the authority in 1974. The Conservative leader of the council, Tony Jefferson, lost his seat. [7] [8] Liberal Democrat councillor Susan Juned was appointed the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 24 May 2023. [9] After the election the Conservatives chose Sarah Whalley-Hoggins to be their new group leader, [10] whilst the newly-formed Green group appointed Dave Passingham as its leader. [11]
