The 2023 Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council in Merseyside, England.[2] This was on the same day as other local elections. Labour retained its majority on the council.
The Green Party made two further gains from Labour to secure their status as the official opposition in the borough. Paul Woodruff took the seat from Labour’s Hugh Malone in Roby ward and Graham Golding secured a second gain for the Greens in St Gabriel’s ward. The Green Party also held their council seats in Whiston and Cronton ward and the Prescot South ward. The only other change was in Whitefield ward, with Labour’s Gary Bennett regaining the Kirkby seat from John Morgan, who had resigned from the Labour Party to sit as an Independent.
