Hastings Borough Council elections explained
Half of Hastings Borough Council in East Sussex, England is elected every two years, while before 2002 the council was elected by thirds. Since the last boundary changes in 2002, 32 councillors have been elected from 16 wards.[1] The Council was held by the Labour Party from 2010 [2] to 2022 when the elections returned a No Overall Control result, leading the Labour Party to form a coalition with the Green Party. This coalition broke down when 6 Labour Councillors resigned from the Labour Party and formed the Hastings Independent Group. Between January 2024 and the May 2024 elections the Council was led by an alliance between the Hastings Independent Group and the Green Party. The 2024 election returned a result of No Overall Control [3] and the Council is now minority led by the Green Party.
