Results
The council was under Conservative majority control prior to the election. Following the results, the Conservatives remained the largest party but lost their majority, leaving the council under no overall control. Efforts by the other parties to put together a coalition administration were unsuccessful, and the Conservative group leader Stephen Atkinson was re-appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 23 May 2023, leading a minority administration.Ward results
