Background

Since its creation in 1974, Tameside has always been under Labour control, aside from 1978 to 1982 when the Conservatives held a majority. [1] The previous election in 2023, which took place following boundary changes and thus required all 57 seats to be contested, [2] saw Labour increase its majority by three seats at the expense of two Conservative seats and the sole seat of the Green Party on the council.
