All wards were up for election, each with 2 or 3 councillors to be elected. The Liberal Democrats were defending control of the council, having won 24 of 26 seats at the previous election.[4] The previous leader of the council, John Boyce, stood down as leader two weeks before the election, having decided not to stand for re-election. He had been in the post for 17 years. He was replaced by Samia Haq.[5][6]
The Liberal Democrats retained their majority at the election.
