Background[edit]
Nuneaton and Bedworth was a traditionally Labour council. From its creation up to 2008, the party held a majority on the council.[3] The Conservatives took control in 2008, but the council fell into no overall control in 2010,[4] and was retaken by Labour in 2012.[5]
Labour controlled the council until 2018, when it again fell into no overall control. The Conservatives gained the council in 2021, and retained control in 2022. In that election, the Conservatives gained 1 seat with 50.5% of the vote, Labour lost 2 with 34.7%, and the Green Party gained 1 with 14.0%.
Boundary changes[edit]
Nuneaton and Bedworth usually elects its councillors in halves, on a 4-year cycle. However, following boundary changes, all councillors will be elected to the new wards.[6] All wards have 2 councillors. The change increases the number of councillors by 4.
