Elections to Peterborough City Council took place on 2 May 2019. 20 of the 60 seats were contested.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections across the United Kingdom.
Following the election the Conservatives were able to continue to govern, although now in a minority administration[2] with the support of the Werrington First group.
In July 2022, Councillor Skibsted resigned from the Labour Party to join the Green Party.[3]
