The wards were all new, having been created in a boundary review which took effect in January 2011.[1] They replaced the previous 27 three-seat wards used in the 2008 election, which were identical to the former Cheshire County Council wards.
The Conservative Party retained overall control of the council, winning 52 out of 82 seats, with a majority of 22 councillors.[2]
