Labour loses ground to Greens and Lib Dems in Sheffield City Council elections

The party lost a total of four seats - West Ecclesfield and Crookes and Crosspool to the Lib Dems and Broomhill and Sharrow Vale Ward and City to the Greens.

The ruling Labour group on Sheffield City Council did claw back one ward seat - East Ecclesfield from UKiP - but have been left in a slightly weakened position overall.

The party failed to take their target seat of Nether Edge and Sharrow, with the Green Party’s Alison Teal beating Labour rival Nadia Jamaby more that 1,300 votes.

The Greens have now upped their numbers on the council from four to six, while the Liberal Democrats have also strengthened their position from 20 to 22 councillors.

The Lib Dems also retained Mosborough - won from Labour in a by-election in 2016 - leaving the Labour majority on the council at 22 councillors.

Labour cabinet members Jack Scott and Jayne Dunn, who were both up for re-election, convincingly held their seats.

The Conservatives once again failed to gain a foothold onto Sheffield City Council, although the party did manage second place in a handful or wards.

The Greens also made headway against Labour, increasing their vote across the board.

Green group speaker Councillor Rob Murphy predicted gains before the counting began at the EIS Sheffield in Attercliffe at around 10.30pm last night, saying: “There’s a lot of Labour Voters saying this time they’re going to vote Green.”

Meanwhile, Coun Scott conceded that the ongoing tree-felling saga could well put Labour in trouble in certain seats.

“Of course trees were an issue, they were always going to be an issue,” he said.

Later today the official count will begin in the Sheffield City Region mayoral race, with the result expected my mid afternoon.
