An election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect all 35 members of the North Warwickshire Borough Council in the English Midlands. This took place on the same days as other UK local elections.[2]
Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control. Following the results, the Conservatives remained the largest party but lost their majority, leaving the council under no overall control.[3] The Conservatives were able to form a minority administration with the support of two of the three independent councillors.[4]
