2022 Crawley Borough Council election
The 2022 Crawley Borough Council took place on 5 May 2022 to elect members of Crawley Borough Council. This is on the same day as other local elections. 12 of the 36 seats were up for election.[1]
Background
In its first election in 1973, Crawley was won by Labour. Their control of the council continued until 2006, when the Conservatives took control.[2] Labour regained the council in 2014, and this continued until the 2021 election, when the Conservatives became the largest party, although Labour continued to govern in coalition with an independent.[3] In that election, the Conservatives gained 1 seat with 48.6% of the vote, Labour lost one seat with 39.5%, and independents made no gains or losses with 0.9%.
The seats up for election in 2022 were last elected in 2019 due to boundary changes. In that election, Labour won 19 seats with 42.6%, and Conservatives won 17 with 42.6%.[4]
