The 2023 Boston Borough Council election took place on 4 May, 2023, to elect all 30 members of Boston Borough Council in Lincolnshire, England.
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being led by a minority Conservative administration with support from some of the independent councillors.[1] Following the results, the council became under the control of local party, Boston Independent, which had only been registered as a party in March 2023.[2] The Conservative leader, Paul Skinner, lost his seat.[3] Boston Independent leader, Anne Dorrian, was appointed as new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2023.[4] [5]
The results for each ward were as follows, with an asterisk (*) indicating a sitting councillor standing for re-election:[6] [7]
David Brown represented Kirton and Frampton prior to the election. Aaron Spencer had been elected in 2019 as a Conservative but left the party in 2020 and sat as an independent for the remainder of his term, as did the other Conservative elected in 2019, Michael Cooper (who did not stand for re-election). Both seats shown as Conservative hold for comparison with 2019 election.
Tracey Abbott represented Wyberton prior to the election. Peter Watson had been an independent prior to the election but stood as a Liberal Democrat.
Anne Dorrian had been an independent in 2019 but stood as a Boston Independent in 2023; seat shown as Boston Independent gain from independent to allow comparison with 2019.
Second seat shown as Boston Independent gain from independent to allow comparison with 2019; the previous incumbent, Tracey Abbott, had been elected as an independent but later joined the Conservatives. She stood for re-election in Kirton and Frampton ward instead of Wyberton in 2023.
