*********************************************
The 2016 Elmbridge Borough Council elections were held following a boundary review which saw Hinchley and Weston Green combined into a new ward with three councillors. Thanks to the support of voters in the new ward, the three residents' candidates, Tannia Shipley, Nigel Haig-Brown and Janet Turner were elected with large majorities.
From 2018 onwards, Council elections returned to the normal pattern of 'election by thirds'. Nigel Haig-Brown was re-elected in that year, and Janet Turner in 2019. The 2020 election was cancelled because of covid.
In the 2019 election, the Conservatives lost three seats, Residents gained 2 and Liberal Democrats 1. The result was No Overall Control, with the Conservatives on 21, Residents on 17 and Liberal Democrats on 10, but Residents successfully formed an administration with Liberal Democrat support.
It is expected that a Residents and Liberal Democrat administration will again be formed following the 2021 election.
