Background edit
Sheffield is a typically strong council for the Labour Party. Labour governed the council as a majority from its creation in 1974 until 1999, when the Liberal Democrats won their first majority on the council.[2] Labour regained their majority in 2003 after a brief period of no overall control, but lost their majority in 2007.[2] The Liberal Democrats governed again in 2008, but Labour won a majority in 2011.[3] They maintained control of the council until 2021, after which they formed a coalition with the Green Party.[4] In the previous election, Labour won 14 seats with 39.6% of the vote, the Liberal Democrats won 11 with 26.2%, and the Green Party won 4 with 19.4%. Following the election, Labour formed a coalition with the Liberal Democrats and Green Party.[5]
The seats up for election in 2024 were last contested in 2021; because of the delay of all local elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seats are up for election after 3 years rather than the usual 4. In that election, Labour won 13 seats (down 8) with 36.6% of the vote, the Liberal Democrats won 9 (up 3) with 21.2%, the Green Party won 6 (up 5) with 20.4%, the Conservatives won 1 (up 1) with 18.4%, and UKIP lost the seat they were defending with 0.2%.
