Elections to Stoke-on-Trent City Council took place on 6 May 2010, coinciding with the national General election. One third - 20 seats - of the council were up for election.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council is the local authority of Stoke-on-Trent, a unitary authority in the West Midlands region. As a unitary authority it has the powers of a non-metropolitan county and district council combined. As such, it is administratively separate from the rest of Staffordshire.
After the election, the parties were represented thus: Labour 27 seats; Conservative 8 seats; British National Party 5 seats; Liberal Democrat 5 seats; Others 15 seats. Although Labour had greatly improved its position, becoming the largest party, the council remained in no overall control.
In the context of local authorities in the United Kingdom, the term no overall control refers to a situation in which no single political group achieves a majority of seats; and is analogous to a hung parliament. Of the 310 councils who had members up for election in the 2007 local elections, 85 resulted in a NOC administration.
