|
The 2024 Stroud District Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom being held on the same day. All 51 members of Stroud District Council in Gloucestershire were elected.
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control. The Conservatives were the largest party, but the council was being run by a coalition of the Green Party, Liberal Democrats and independent councillors, led by Catherine Braun of the Green Party. [1]
At the previous election in 2021, the Conservatives won 20 seats (down 3) with 39.2% of the vote, Labour won 15 (down 3) with 29.4%, the Green Party won 13 (up 5) with 25.5%, and the Liberal Democrats won 3 (up 1) with 5.9%. Following the election, Doina Cornell of the Labour Party was elected council leader, with the backing of the Green Party and Liberal Democrats. [2] Labour lost their position as the largest party in the coalition in June 2022, following the resignation of Cornell and 3 others from the party. [3] Green Party councillor Catherine Braun was elected leader on 22 July 2022; [4] the council is now run by a coalition of the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats, the Community Independents group, and the Independent Left group. [5]
Following the election, the council remained under no overall control, but the Greens overtook the Conservatives to become the largest party. Labour also made significant gains, whereas the Conservatives made significant losses and no independent councillors were elected. The Green subsequently formed a minority administration. [6]

In the context of local authorities in the United Kingdom, no overall control is a situation in which no single political group achieves a majority of seats, comparably to a hung parliament. Of the 248 councils who had members up for election in the 2019 local elections, 73 resulted in a NOC administration. In the 2021 local elections, 14 resulted in no overall control. Outside of the UK, the term may be applied to other local authorities, such as the local councils of Malta and the General Assembly of Budapest in Hungary.
