The 2024 Broxbourne Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Broxbourne Borough Council in Hertfordshire, England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections across England and Hertfordshire's Police and Crime Commissioner election. The council remained under Conservative majority control.
As is typical for Broxbourne's local elections, ten seats of the thirty total were contested. The Conservative Party have controlled the council since the council's creation in 1974. Prior to the election they had control of twenty-seven of the thirty seats, meaning it was impossible for them to lose majority control regardless of the election's results. The leader of the council prior to the election, Lewis Cocking, did not stand for re-election.[2]
All seats being contested were held by the Conservative Party, with the exception of Waltham Cross's seat (held by Labour). Labour, the Green Party and the Conservatives put forth candidates for all seats up for election. The Liberal Democrats also contested every seat except Cheshunt South and Theobalds Ward. Additionally, in some seats candidates representing the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition and the UK Independence Party also stood alongside one independent candidate.
