The whole council (a unitary authority) was up for election and all 54 councillors were elected. The Conservative Party won 26 out of 54 seats on the council, replacing the Labour Party as the largest party and formed a minority administration. This result was to some extent in line with the general pattern of results throughout England that day, with Conservatives gaining seats at the expense of Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The Green Party increased its number of seats from 6 to 12.
