Sefton local election results 2024: Who won council elections in my area - as votes counted

The Green Party made history in Thursday’s local elections, winning its first ever seat in Sefton.

The Labour Party retained its hold on Sefton Council, taking one seat from the Conservative party, while Neil Doolin became the borough’s first Green councillor - taking 1,412 votes to Labour’s 1,307 in the Church ward. Speaking after the surprise win, Cllr Doolin said the result had been a “long time coming” and thanked those that had voted for him. The Liberal Democrats won three seats, regaining the Cambridge ward, and remaining on nine seats. The Conservative Party held on to the Dukes ward, but lost its Harington seat to Labour. Labour’s Chloe Parker took control of the Park ward, with 1,621 votes - a seat previously held by an independent councillor.

The results mean that Labour has increased its overall majority in Sefton, winning 17 of the 22 contested seats and rising from 48 to 49 of 66 seats on the council.
