Joanne Sexton

No overall control

Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being led by a Conservative minority administration. The Conservatives had won a majority of the seats at the previous election in 2019 but had lost their majority in 2020 following a number of defections.[3] Following the 2023 election the council remained under no overall control. At the subsequent annual council meeting on 25 May 2023, independent councillor Jo Sexton was appointed leader of the council, with Liberal Democrat councillor Chris Bateson serving as deputy leader.[4]
