The 2023 Lancaster City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Lancaster City Council in Lancashire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections in England. New ward boundaries took effect for this election, increasing the number of seats from 60 to 61.[1]
Election result
Before the election the council was under no overall control, being run by a coalition of Labour, the Greens and independent councillors, led by Green councillor Caroline Jackson. The council remained under no overall control after the election and the Labour group leader, Erica Lewis, lost her seat.[2][3]
A new coalition of Labour, the Greens and Liberal Democrats formed an administration after the election, led by new Labour group leader Phillip Black, who was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2023.[4]
