Prior to the election, Nuneaton and Bedworth was seen to be a "swing council" that was expected to see a drop in support for the Labour Party due to the perceived unpopularity of party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Despite losing some seats and seeing a reduced share of the popular vote, Labour retained their majority on the council.Phipps Claire Siddique Haroon UK elections 2016 at a glance: the key points and results https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/06/uk-elections-at-a-glance-the-key-points 10 May 2021 The Guardian 6 May 2016 Among the seats up for election, they won twelve.

Exhall
Exhall elected two councillors at this election. Doughty was elected to a four-year term and Pomfrett was elected to a two-year term. The percentage figures given reflect that voters could cast two ballots (i.e. they are not a percentage of every vote cast) and will add up to 200% as a result. Due to the nature of the election, swing calculations are not possible.
