Winner of each seat at the 2024 Southend-on-Sea City Council election | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The 2024 Southend-on-Sea City Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom being held on the same day. One-third of the 51 members of Southend-on-Sea City Council in Essex were elected.
The Conservative Party took control of Southend-on-Sea from no overall control in 2000, [1] and governed as a majority until 2014 when they were replaced by a coalition of Labour, Liberal Democrats and independents. [2] The Conservatives took control alongside UKIP in 2016, [2] before regaining a majority in 2018. The Labour-Liberal Democrats-independent coalition took over in 2019, [3] and governed until 2023. In that election, the Conservatives won 5 seats with 33.2%, Labour won 7 with 28.7%, independents won 3 with 12.3%, the Liberal Democrats won 1 with 13.2%, and the Green Party won 1 with 9.1%. The Conservatives formed a minority administration with support of some independents following this election. [4]
The seats up for election in 2024 were last contested in 2021; because of the delay of all local elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seats are up for election after 3 years rather than the usual 4. In that election, the Conservatives won 11 seats with 40.5%, Labour won 6 with 26.1%, independents won 1 with 13.0% and the Liberal Democrats won 1 with 11.4%.
