North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council elections

North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council elections are generally held three years out of every four, with a third of the council being elected each time. North Tyneside Borough Council, generally known as North Tyneside Council is the local authority for the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. Since 2002 the borough has been led by the directly elected Mayor of North Tyneside.

Political control

North Tyneside was created under the Local Government Act 1972 as a metropolitan borough, with Tyne and Wear County Council providing county-level services. The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Tyne and Wear County Council was abolished in 1986 and North Tyneside became a unitary authority. Political control of the council since 1973 has been held by the following parties:^[1]^[2]
