The Green Party are celebrating Toby Mallinson winning in Hillsborough so we now have all 3 Councillors in Hillsborough Ward. Unfortunately we lost to Labour in Nether Edge, so the overall balance remains the same. All the Green Councillors defending their seats were re-elected with reasonable majorities. Labour needed to gain 3 seats to take overall control of the Council, but they have failed to do this.
Throughout the city Greens polled 24923 votes, which was 19.5% of the valid votes cast. Our total vote is half of the Labour vote, but due to the unfair electoral system they elected 16 Councillors while we elected 4.
Full results are on the City Council website here and also on the Who is my Councillor website.
