Background

Since its creation in 1974, Brentwood has been a mostly Conservative-controlled council. The party held control until 1990, with the Liberal Democrats taking the council from no overall control in 1991. [1] They controlled the council until 2003, with the Conservatives re-taking control in 2004.

The Conservatives held a majority on the council until the most recent election, where the council again fell into no overall control. [2] In that election, the Liberal Democrats gained 3 seats with 43.7% of the vote, the Conservatives lost 3 with 37.5%, and Labour remained at 2 seats with 14.3%.

Boundary changes

Brentwood usually elects its councillors in thirds, on a 4-year cycle. However, following boundary changes, all councillors will be elected to the new wards. [3] The change increases the number of councillors by 2.
