2021 Fareham Borough Council election

Elections to Fareham Borough Council are due to be held on 6 May 2021, as part of the 2021 United Kingdom local elections. These elections were originally scheduled for 2020 but were suspended for a year due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

Following the previous elections, in 2018 the council consisted of 24 Conservatives, 5 Liberal Democrats, 1 Independent member and 1 UKIP member. Since the Conservatives regained majority control of the council in 1999, the Liberal Democrats had formed the main opposition.

Opposition

In January 2020, opposition Liberal Democrat councillor Shaun Cunningham left the party to sit as an independent citing the partys poor general election results. [1] Two months later, in March 2020, two Conservative councillors, Leslie Keeble and Keith Barton left their party. These three councillors alongside the other independent councillor Jack Englefield and the former UKIP councillor, Carolyn Heneghan, formed a new independent opposition group. With five members, this group replaced the four-strong Liberal Democrat group as the main opposition on the council.[2][3]
