Lib Dems and Tories keep councils in Hertfordshire

Broxbourne, headquartered in Cheshunt and sitting beside the London and Essex borders, has been under Tory control for 50 years.

Of the 10 seats being voted on – one third of the council – the Tories held on to nine and Labour held on to one position.

However, the Conservatives’ share of the vote dropped in Broxbourne by 13 percentage points compared with 2021.

Labour’s share rose by five percentage points, the Green Party’s by nine and the independents, by two points.

The Lib Dems share fell by one percentage point.

Voter turnout in Broxbourne was up slightly on 2023, from 24.01% to 25.93%.

Broxbourne Labour councillor Sean Waters said the party had “narrowed the gap” in traditionally safe Conservative areas.

He added the Tories had to “work harder than they’ve ever worked before” and that Labour hoped to build on their results at the general election.
