Winner of each seat at the 2023 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council election |
|
The 2023 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council election took place on 4 May, 2023, to elect all 76 members of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council in Dorset, England.[1]
The council stayed with no overall control but the Liberal Democrats became the largest single party.[2][3] As no one party controlled a majority of the council the Liberal Democrats, Christchurch Independents, Poole People Party and The Bournemouth Independent Group subsequently formed a coalition administration known as the "Three Towns Alliance."[4][5]
