The 2024 Rossendale Borough Council election is scheduled to be held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections being held in the United Kingdom on the same day.[1] It will elect all 30 seats to the council.[2]
Background
The council usually elects members in thirds every year except the 4th in a four-year cycle.[3] However, due to a boundary review of the wards by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, the number of seats has been decreased to 30 seats from 36. Additionally, due to this review, all 30 seats to Rossendale Borough Council will be up for election.[2]
At the previous election, held in 2023, the Labour Party increased their majority by 3 seats, leading to them having 22 seats and keeping the council under Labour control.[4] The Green Party also gained representation on the council for the first time.[5]
| Party | Seats | |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | 21 | |
| Conservative | 9 | |
| Community First | 2 | |
| Independent | 2 | |
| Green | 1 | |
| Vacant | 1 | |
Candidates
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Rossendale Borough Council following the close of nominations on 8 April 2024.[6] Sitting councillors standing for re-election are marked with an asterisk (*).
