Summary

Prior to the election, the council had been under Conservative majority control since 2005. The Conservative leader of the council was Lezley Picton; she did not stand for re-election in 2025.[2]

Prior to the election, the Liberal Democrat group on the council was jointly led by Roger Evans and Heather Kidd. After the election, the group chose Kidd to be the sole leader.[1] She was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2025.[21] The second largest party after the election was Reform UK. There had been no Reform councillors prior to the election. After the election, the new Reform group chose Dawn Husemann to be their new group leader.[22] The reduced Conservative group chose Dan Thomas to be its new leader after the election.[23] The Green party and the independent councillor also formed a new "Green and Progressive Independents" group after the election.[24][25]
