In the past, one-third of councillors were elected each year, but in 2010 the council opted to change to a whole council election system.[1] Since the last boundary changes in 2002, 48 councillors have been elected from 23 wards. As a result of the 2011 election the Conservative party lost overall control, with both it and the Labour party represented by 23 councillors, the balance of the council being made up of one Green Party and one Independent councillor.[2][3]
