One third of the council (16 seats) was scheduled for election, whilst two additional vacancies, caused by the resignation of sitting councillors, were also filled in Bitterne Park and Peartree wards, meaning a total of 18 of the city's 48 seats were elected. The ruling Conservative party had come under intense public scrutiny for their sweeping programme of privatisation of council services and implementing pay cuts to council jobs, which led to union disputes. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jun/25/spending-review-new-era-cooperation-councils Local government: a new era of co-operation Anna Bawden The Guardian 25 June 2013 14 September 2018 Labour won a majority of the seats being contested, and also gained overall control of the council from the Conservatives. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/vote2012/council/E06000045.stm Vote 2012 - Southampton 14 September 2018 BBC News Election result This summary box compares each party vote share with the corresponding elections in 2008, the last elections at which the majority of this tranche of seats were elected.
