The 2023 Norwich City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Norwich City Council in Norfolk, England. This was on the same day as other local elections in England.[3]
The council was under Labour majority control prior to the election. The leader of the council was Alan Waters, who had led the council since 2015. He chose not to stand for re-election.[4]
The Greens made two gains from Labour at the election, but Labour retained a majority of the seats on the council. At the subsequent annual council meeting on 23 May 2023, Labour councillor Mike Stonard was appointed the new leader of the council.[5]
Changes in vote share are relative to the last time these seats were contested in 2019.
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Norwich City Council following the close of nominations on 5 April 2023.[6] [7] [8]
