Reform has won big in South Tyneside, clinching 41 out of the 54 seats on the council. Labour was reduced from 27 councillors to just one, while the Greens increased their representation on the council from nine to 10. 16 independent seats were lost, leaving just two to round out the 54.
Rare all-out elections took place following a boundary review – the council is usually elected in thirds and will return to doing so from next year. This means that across the 18 wards, the candidate who was elected with the highest share of the vote will serve a full four year term, the individual in second has two years until they need to face the voters again and the third place candidate will be back out campaigning in less than a year for the 2027 locals.
