The 2023 Hertsmere Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Hertsmere Borough Council in Hertfordshire, England.[1] [2] This was on the same day as other local elections across England.
The council went under no overall control at this election, with the Conservatives losing the majority they had held since 1999.[3] [4] Whilst the Conservatives were still the largest party on the council, a Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition formed to take control of the council instead. Labour group leader Jeremy Newmark became leader of the council and Liberal Democrat group leader Paul Richards became deputy leader of the council.[5]
