Local elections 2024: All of Brentwood Borough Council's election candidates
Every seat is being contested at Brentwood Borough Council - with the number of councillors increasing. The makeup of Brentwood Borough Council is normally decided on a thirds system - with a third of seats up every year for three years with a fourth year off.
However, following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) of the ward arrangements in the borough the whole council is being elected. This means that, from May 2024, the borough will be divided into 13 wards - two fewer than currently - each of which will have three borough councillors.
All 39 Borough Council seats - two more than the existing arrangements - will be contested at the elections on May 2 2024. Changes also include the Brizes & Doddinghurst ward, South Weald ward and Tipps Cross ward disappearing.

Instead, there will be a Brizes, Stondon Massey & South Weald ward and a Blackmore & Doddinghurst Ward.
The council is currently in no overall control - with the Liberal Democrats running the council Labour.
It followed the Conservatives losing control of Brentwood Borough Council at last year’s local election for the first time in eight years.
Local elections will be held on Thursday, May 2 2024. Borough council elections will be combined with the election of a Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for the Essex Police Area.
