2017 election results map, showing numbers of councillors per ward and their party affiliations
The council's composition after the elections

The 2017 Vale of Glamorgan Council election took place on Thursday 4 May 2017 to elect members of Vale of Glamorgan Council in Wales. There were 47 council seats available, across 23 wards. This was the same day as other United Kingdom local elections.[1]

The previous full council election took place on 3 May 2012, with the next full council election taking place on 5 May 2022.

Election result

[edit]

In winning 23 seats the Conservatives had a surprising resurgence, taking back the council from the previous coalition of Labour councillors and Llantwit First Independents. The Conservatives were one seat short of an overall majority.[2] Labour-held wards such as Barry's Dyfan and Illtyd were taken by the Tories, as was the previous Plaid Cymru stronghold of Dinas Powys.[2]
