The 2024 Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council in the West Midlands alongside other local elections on the same day. 17 of the 51 seats were up for election.
Since its creation in 1974, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council has always had the Conservatives as the largest party, with some periods of no overall control. Labour came the closest to overtaking them in 1996, when they won 16 seats to the Conservatives' 17.[1] In the 2023 election, the Conservatives gained two seats on a vote share of 38.4% (-7.5), the Green Party lost 1 seat with 29.8% of the vote (+4.2), the Liberal Democrats gained 1 seat on 16.1% (+2.6), and Labour lost their sole remaining seat on 14.9% (+2.9).
The seats up for election in 2024 were last elected in 2021 (the election was delayed by 1 year due to COVID-19, meaning these councillors served a 3-year term). In that election, the Conservatives gained 3 seats with 53.8% of the vote, the Green party gained 1 with 20.5%, the Liberal Democrats lost 3 with 12.2%, and Labour lost 1 with 12.9%.
