The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the
urban districts, Wainford Rural District and part of Lothingland Rural District. The population of the district at the 2011 Census was 115,254.[1] The last elections to the council were held on 7 May 2015, the second election after the council moved to a Whole Council election system, meaning all 48 council seats were contested.[2] Before the 2011 elections the council was under Conservative Party
control.
Waveney district was merged with
East Suffolk district.[3]
At the 2011 election the Conservatives had lost overall control, with both it and the
Independent councillor.[4][5] A series of procedural moves led to the formation of a Conservative-led administration.[6][7]
At the 2015 election the Conservatives won an absolute majority, with 27 seats, with Labour winning 20 and the Green Party 1.
