2022 Adur District Council election

The 2022 Adur District Council election will take place on 5 May 2022 to elect members of Adur District Council. This is on the same day as other local elections. 14 of the 29 seats will be up for election.[1]

Background

Adur District Council was created in 1974, and it was first controlled by the Conservatives from 1979 to 1980. The Liberal Party took control of the council, and held it from 1980 to 1999 (Liberal Democrats from 1988). The council then fell under no overall control, until the Conservatives regained control in 2002 (the Liberal Democrats lost representation on the council in 2014).[2] In 2021 election, the Conservatives gained 2 seats with 44.9%, Labour made no gains or losses with 31.1%, the Green Party gained their first council seat with 12.8%, and UKIP lost their 3 seats on the council with 0.4%.

The seats up for election this year were last elected in 2018. In that election, the Conservatives made no net gains or losses with 44.0%, Labour gained 4 seats with 34.4%, and UKIP lost their 4 seats up for election with 5.3%.
