The 2025 Northumberland County Council election took place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Northumberland County Council in Northumberland, England.[2] 69 members were elected on the same day as other local elections across England. In the election the council remained under no overall control.[3] Alongside Buckinghamshire, this was one of the only two councils where the Conservatives were elected as the largest party.

Background

[edit]

At the 2021 election, the Conservatives won control of the council.[4] They subsequently lost their majority later in 2021 following a by-election, but continued to run the council as a minority administration between 2021 and 2025. New division boundaries were drawn up to come into effect for the 2025 election, increasing the number of councillors from 67 to 69.[5]
