The percentage of vote share and majority are based on the average for each party's votes in each ward. The raw majority number is the margin of votes between the lowest-placed winning party candidate and the opposition party's highest-placed losing candidate. Starred candidates are the incumbents.
In July 2017, Murad Gassanly defected from Labour to the Conservative Party. This meant he sat as a Conservative councillor.[3]
