The 2023 Stoke-on-Trent City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Stoke-on-Trent City Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.[1] New ward boundaries took effect for this election, although the number of councillors stayed the same at 44.[2]
Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being led by a Conservative minority administration. Labour took a majority of the seats at the election.[3] [4] Labour group leader Jane Ashworth was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 25 May 2023.[5]
Stoke-on-Trent is a city made up of six towns. These include Tunstall and Burslem in the North, Hanley and Stoke in its Central and Fenton and Longton in the South.
