The results were a strong showing for the Labour Party, who finished first on the expense of the Conservative Party, who finished third. The Liberal Democrats finished second for the first time in a local election cycle since 2009.[3]
This election cycle returned to its usual four-year cycle after the majority of these elections were last held in the 2021 local elections, having been delayed by a year from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
