2018 local election results in Burnley

The 2018 Burnley Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2018 to elect members of Burnley Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections. One third of the council was up for election, and each successful candidate will serve a four-year term of office, expiring in 2022. These seats were last contested in 2014.

At the start of March 2017, Bill and Margaret Brindle (both Coalclough with Deerplay ward) acrimoniously split with the local Liberal Democrats, but continued to sit on the council as independents.[1] David Roper also left the party and continued as an independent. In November four more Lib Dems (including Neil Mottershead and Mark Payne) left the party over its stance on Brexit, to form the Burnley and Padiham Independent Party.[2]
