These are all the Sheffield ward seats predicted to change hands during May Local Election Results 2026
Leader of the Council Tom Hunt is predicted to lose his seat today
Here are the seats in Sheffield expected to change hands today.
Sheffield is not going to undergo a seismic shift today, such as one party suddenly taking overall control of the council.
But changes expected to come include as many as five new Reform UK councillors - and possibly a new leader.


And not even by a slim margin. Pollcheck suggests Mr Hunt could lose Walkley by 20 points, with almost half of all votes in the ward going Green.
Interestingly, the predicted Reform wins could be by very slim margins. Darnall, Richmond and Birley could swing Reform, but only by less than three per cent each.
Woodhouse and Stocksbridge & Upper Don are likely to be Reform’s firmest strongholds by the end of the day, voting for Farage’s party by double-digit margins.
