Sheffield council has remained under no overall control following the 2024 local elections.

Labour won 15 seats of the 29 seats which were being contested in the election. The Liberal Democrats won seven seats and the Green party won six seats.

A third of the 84 seats on the council were up for election in this year's ballot.

After the 2024 results, Labour now have a total of 35 councillors on Sheffield council, which means it is the largest party but is eight short of a majority.

The Liberal Democrats have 27 councillors, which is two less than the previous local election. The Green party have the same amount of councillors following the latest election and now have 14 seats on the council. Independents have eight councillors, which is two down on the total last time.

No party has had control of Sheffield Council since the local elections of 2021.

Labour had been in control of the council for the previous decade after ousting the Liberal Democrats in 2011.

However, ahead of this year's election they only had 39 of the 84 seats available.

That made them the largest party, but four seats short of a majority.

The elections are a major test for Rishi Sunak's government ahead of the General Election, which must be held by 28 January 2025 at the latest.

Polls closed at 10pm on Thursday, May 2, with the count taking place on Friday morning and the result declared at.
