2026 Broxbourne Borough Council election

The 2026 Broxbourne Borough Council election will be held on 7 May 2026 to elect members to Broxbourne Borough Council. It will be held on the same day as other local elections. The election will be the last election held in Broxbourne before local government reorganisation.

Background

In the 2024 council election, the Conservative Party held 9 out of 10 seats that were up for election, maintaining their majority and control of the council. The Labour Party held the seat of Waltham Cross. In the 2024 general election, Charles Walker, the incumbent Conservative MP of Broxbourne, stood down. Lewis Cocking, the leader of Broxbourne Borough Council, was selected as the Conservative candidate to replace Walker and elected with a majority of 2,858 votes. Cocking was succeeded as leader of the council by councillor Mark Mills-Bishop of Goffs Oak in May 2024. In February 2025, councillors Giles Hall of Flamstead End and Siobhan Monaghan of Cheshunt South and Theobalds left the Conservative Party and joined Reform UK. Mills-Bishop called for Hall and Monaghan to resign and face by-elections. Mills-Bishop stood down as leader in May 2025 and was succeeded by councillor Corina Gander of Goffs Oak.
