Warrington Borough Council Local Election results 2021

THE Conservatives will form the opposition on Warrington Borough Council after making gains from the Lib Dems and Labour.

The results saw their numbers increase from just one to 11, with the controlling Warrington Borough Council Labour group on 36, the Lib Dems on eight and three independents.

The Tories, who took three seats off Labour at Culcheth, Croft & Glazebury, including Labour Cabinet member Matt Smith, also made a gain from Labour in Chapelford & Old Hall, where Cabinet member Rebecca Knowles lost her seat to Linda Butler.
They also made two gains from Labour in Rixton & Woolston where veteran Cllr Pat Wright and former MP and Mayor Faisal Rashid lost out to Joshua Dixon and Phil Eastty.
Labour also lost out in Penketh & Cuerdley where local independents won all three seats.
Following a recount, the Tories made one gain in Birchwood where Cabinet member Judith Guthrie lost her seat to Tory Nigel Balding by just three votes!
More reaction will be updated tomorrow.

As well as the borough elections there will be parish and town council elections and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire election. The Parish results will not be counted until tomorrow.
