We've manually set advice for this ward. This advice is not based on the election result the last time this ward was fought - in the 2023 local elections, when Labour held the seat over the Lib Dems. Rather, having considered the candidates who are running this time, the advice based on the recent contest in May 2025 for the County Council divsion which includes this ward, which resulted in a Lib Dem victory over Reform, with Labour out of the running.

Labour won the last election

Liberal Democrat came 2nd

Tories came 3rd
