Daventry District Council election, 2018
The 2018 Daventry District Council election were held on Thursday 3rd May 2018 to elect members of Daventry District Council in England.This was on the same day as other local elections.[1][2][3]
This is likely to be the final elections for Daventry District Council due to the poor running of Northamptonshire County Council by the local Conservative party leading to new unitary authorities for the county being proposed. The Caller Report into the running of Northamptonshire County Council suggested that any elections currently scheduled for 2019 be abandoned and elections for the new authorities held in May 2020.[4]
The make up of the council after the elections was 30 Conservative councillors, 5 Labour councillors and 1 Liberal Democrat councillor.[5]
