The 2026 Tamworth Borough Council election will be held on 7 May 2026, alongside the other local elections across the United Kingdom being held on the same day, to elect 11 of 30 members of Tamworth Borough Council in Staffordshire, England.[2]
Background
In 2024, the Labour Party gained majority control of the council.[3][4] In January 2026, the council asked for the election to be postponed pending local government reorganisation.[5] However it was rescheduled on 16 February 2026.[6]
On 21 April 2026, it was announced that the poll for Wilnecote Ward will be postponed to a later date, following the death of Sian Foster, the Labour candidate. The polls in all other wards will be proceeding as planned on the 7th of May.[7][8]
