The 2024 Three Rivers District Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Three Rivers District Council in Hertfordshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections.
The council remained under Liberal Democrat majority control. After the election the Liberal Democrats changed their group leader to Stephen Giles-Medhurst, who was formally appointed as leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 21 May 2024.[1]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Three Rivers District Council following the close of nominations on 8 April 2024.[2]
This seat was previously held by Roger Seabourne, originally elected as a Liberal Democrat candidate, but changed affiliation to an Independent prior to the 2024 election. He is not re-standing.
By-election triggered by resignation of Conservative councillor David Raw.[4]
