Council control after election

Labour Party (UK)

The 2016 Bristol City Council election took place on Thursday 5 May 2016, alongside nationwide local elections. Following a boundary review, the number of wards in the City was reduced to 34, with each electing one, two or three Councillors.[1] The overall number of Councillors remained 70, with all seats are up for election at the same time. Elections would then be held every 4 years.[2]

The Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats contested all 70 seats. The Green Party stood 59 candidates, TUSC 18, UKIP 10 and the Wessex Regionalists 1. There were also 8 Independent candidates.[3]

Voters in the city were also voting in the 2016 Bristol Mayoral Election and the election for Avon and Somerset's Police and Crime Commissioner. Turnout across the city was high, with many wards recording over 50% turnout, and none recording less than 25%.[4] Labour won a number of new seats and gained overall control of the Council, whilst all other parties lost seats. UKIP lost their only Councillor.

This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the Council after the elections:

Party Previous council New council +/-
Labour 30 37 Increase7
Conservatives 16 14 Decrease2
Greens 13 11 Decrease2
Liberal Democrats 10 8 Decrease2
