The 2023 Tendring District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 48 members of Tendring District Council in Essex, England. [1] [2] This would be on the same day as other local elections across England and parish council elections in the district. [3]

Contents

The council was under no overall control prior to the election, being led by Conservative councillor Neil Stock, who had been leader of the council since 2015. He chose not to stand for re-election. [4]

After the election the council remained under no overall control. A coalition of independent councillors, Labour and the Liberal Democrats formed to take control of the council. At the subsequent annual council meeting on 23 May 2023, independent councillor Mark Thompson was appointed leader of the council, Labour group leader Ivan Henderson was made deputy leader of the council, and Liberal Democrat group leader Gary Scott was made chair of the council.
