Prior to the election the council was under
no overall control, being led by a coalition of
Labour and the
Liberal Democrats. Following the election, the council remained under no overall control. Labour was still the largest party and increased its number of seats, but fell one short of winning an overall majority. The Liberal Democrats also increased their number of seats. The Conservatives were reduced to just seven seats, and their group leader, David Levett, lost his seat. The Conservatives subsequently chose Ralph Muncer to be their new group leader after the election. Labour also changed its leader after the election. Elizabeth Dennis, who had served as group leader and
leader of the council since 2021, was replaced by Daniel Allen. He was formally appointed as the new leader of the council, leading a Labour minority administration, at the subsequent annual council meeting on 23 May 2024.
