The Broxbourne Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Broxbourne Borough Council in Hertfordshire, England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections across England and Hertfordshire's Police and Crime Commissioner election. The council remained under Conservative majority control.
As is typical for Broxbourne's local elections, ten seats of the thirty total were contested. The Conservative party have controlled the council since the council's creation in 1974. Prior to the election they had control of twenty-seven of the thirty seats, meaning it was impossible for them to lose majority control regardless of the election's results. The leader of the council prior to the election, Lewis Cocking, did not stand for re-election.[2]
All seats being contested were held by the Conservative Party, with the exception of Waltham Cross's seat (held by Labour). Labour, the Green Party and the Conservatives put forth candidates for all seats up for election. The Liberal Democrats also contested every seat except Cheshunt South and Theobalds Ward. Additionally, in some seats candidates representing the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition and the UK Independence Party also stood alongside one independent candidate.
The results of the election were announced one day after voting.[3] In a repeat of the previous year, Labour held the contested Waltham Cross ward while the Conservatives held in every other ward. Therefore, with no seats changing hands, the Conservatives maintained their majority control of the council. The Conservatives chose Mark Mills-Bishop to be their new leader and he was formally appointed as leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 14 May 2024.[4]
The Statements of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, were released by Broxbourne Council on 8 April 2024 following the close of nominations. Sitting councillors standing for re-election are marked with an asterisk (*).
