Background

The council usually elects members in thirds every year except the 4th in a four-year cycle. [3] However, due to a boundary review of the wards by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, the number of seats has been decreased to 30 seats from 36. Additionally, due to this review, all 30 seats to Rossendale Borough Council will be up for election. [2]

At the previous election, held in 2023, the Labour Party increased their majority by 3 seats, leading to them having 22 seats and keeping the council under Labour control. [4] The Green Party also gained representation on the council for the first time. [5]
