The Conservative Party lost control of the council to no overall control. ^[3] They remained the largest party, and continued to run the council as a minority administration. ^[4]

Background

North East Lincolnshire was created as a unitary authority in 1996. The Labour Party held a majority on the council until 2003, when the council fell to no overall control. ^[5] Labour retook the council in 2012, ^[6] but lost the council in 2016. ^[7] The Conservatives won their first majority on the council in 2019, and have controlled the council since then. In the previous election, the Conservatives won 7 seats (down 3) with 41.5% of the vote, Labour won 5 (up 1) with 38.1%, independents won 2 (up 2) with 9.6%, and the Liberal Democrats defended their seat up for election with 7.0%.

The seats up for election in 2024 were last contested in 2021; because of the delay of all local elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seats are up for election after 3 years rather than the usual 4. In that election, the Conservatives gained 8 seats with 60.3% of the vote, Labour lost 7 with 25.6%, and the Liberal Democrats lost 1 with 5.5%.
