The 2021 Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 6 May 2021 to elect members of Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.[1] One-third of the seats were up for election, with two wards Almondbury (Birstall & Birkenshaw and Golcar) electing two councillors.[2] In November 2020, 3 Labour Councillors resigned in protest over the handling of the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn. This resulted in Labour losing overall control of Kirklees Council. [3]
