Elections to Cheshire East Council happened on Thursday 5 May 2011. Elections occurred in all 52 wards, with each ward returning between one and three councillors to the council.
The wards were all new, having been created in a boundary review which took effect in January 2011.[1] They replaced the previous 27 three-seat wards used in the 2008 election, which were identical to the former Cheshire County Council wards.
The Conservative Party retained overall control of the council, winning 52 out of 82 seats, with a majority of 22 councillors.[2]
After the election, the composition of the council was:
An asterisk (*) denotes an incumbent councillor.
Councillor Keegan previously served as a member for the now dissolved Alderley ward.
Councillor Bailey previously served as a member for the now dissolved Cholmondeley ward.
Councillor Livesley previously served as a councillor for the now dissolved Prestbury and Tytherington ward.
The one seat for this ward was uncontested and the Conservative Party candidate, John Valentine Frank Wray, was elected unopposed.
