The 2022 North Hertfordshire District Council election took place on 5 May 2022 to elect 18 of the 49 members of North Hertfordshire District Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections around the country. The council remained under no overall control, with a Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition continuing to run the council. The leader of the council remained the Labour group leader, Elizabeth Dennis-Harburg, and the deputy leader of the council remained the Liberal Democrat group leader, Ruth Brown.[2]
The results for each ward were as follows. Where the previous incumbent was standing for re-election they are marked with an asterisk(*).[1]
John Bishop had previously held the Kimpton seat as a Conservative, but resigned from the party shortly before the 2022 election and stood as an independent candidate.
This Letchworth East seat had been vacant since October 2021 following the resignation of the previous Labour councillor, Sue Ngwala.
