The 2024 Adur District Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the
other local elections being held in the United Kingdom on the same day.[1] The councillors elected will serve a 4-year term, ending in May 2028.[2]
Background
Adur District Council elects half of its councillors every 2 years, with 16 being up for election this time, being 15 ordinary elections plus a by-election in St Mary's ward.[3][2]
At the previous election, held in 2022, the Conservative Party reduced the number of seats they had on the council by 3 to have 16 seats. Labour gained 2 seats and the Greens gained 1.[4] However, due to the majority required of 15 seats, the council remained under Conservative control.[4][5] The council is a target for the Labour Party.[6]
