The 2024 Peterborough City Council election took place on 2 May 2024 [1] to elect members of Peterborough City Council in Cambridgeshire, England. 23 of the 60 seats on the council were contested, including an early election in Werrington. The election took place alongside other local elections across England.
Prior to the election, the council was under no overall control, being led by a minority administration of local party Peterborough First.
All but two seats up for election in 2024 were last defended in 2021. Park ward was last defended in 2023, whilst one vacated seat in Werrington was last defended in 2022.
Going into the election, the position of the parties and the number of seats they were defending was:
*Two of the Conservative defences were in Stanground South and Wittering, where the incumbents had defected to Peterborough First. [2] [3]
** Peterborough First's two defences were in Werrington, where the incumbents were elected for the group's predecessor, Werrington First.
***The Green Party's defence was in Orton Waterville, where the incumbent councillor - Kirsty Knight - resigned from the party shortly before the election. [4]
Following the election, the council remained under no overall control. Labour became the largest party. [5] Labour subsequently formed a minority administration, with their group leader Dennis Jones being formally appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 20 May 2024.

Reform UK is a right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom. Founded in November 2018 as the Brexit Party, advocating a no-deal Brexit, it won the 2019 European Parliament election in the UK, but did not win any seats at the 2019 general election. The UK withdrew from the EU in January 2020. A year later, in January 2021, the party renamed itself Reform UK. During the COVID-19 pandemic the party advocated against further lockdowns. Since 2022, the party has campaigned on a broader platform, in particular opposing immigration, supporting low taxation, and the government's net zero energy policy. Following Nigel Farage's resumption of the party leadership in early June during the 2024 general election campaign, opinion pollsters and analysts reported an increase in support for the party.
