The 2023 Redditch Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Redditch Borough Council in Worcestershire, England.[3] This was on the same day as other local elections across England. There were 10 of the 29 seats on the council up for election, being the usual nominal third of the council. The Conservatives retained control of the council.[4]

Results summary

[edit]

Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control. Since this set of seats was last contested in 2019, two councillors defected from the Conservative Party: David Thain to the Green Party[5] and Juliet Brunner to sit as an independent.[6] These two councillors were up for re-election, but failed to be re-elected.

The Conservative Party lost an additional 4 seats at this election, but held 4 seats, and gained back the West ward from the Green Party.[4]

The Labour Party held Greenlands and gained 5 seats, with 4 from the Conservatives, and Matchborough from the Independent.[4]

This election saw the mayor, Ann Isherwood, lose her seat to 18-year-old James Fardoe.[7] The deputy mayor, Tom Baker-Price, also lost his seat.
