From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingston upon Hull
is a
unitary authority
in the
East Riding of Yorkshire
,
England
. Until 1 April 1996 it was a
non-metropolitan district
in
Humberside
.
A third of the
Council
is elected each year with no election every four years. Since the boundary changes in 2002 until 2018, 59
councillors
are elected from 23
wards
with each ward electing either 2 or 3 councillors.
[1]
Following a review, in 2017, by the
Local Government Boundary Commission
this was reduced to 57 councillors from 21 wards effective from the 2018 elections.
[2]
Due to boundary changes every ward and every council seat were up for election on 3 May 2018, new wards "East Carr" and "West Carr" replace East Bransholme and West
Bransholme
and include part of Sutton Park estate too. Labour, Lib Dems and Conservatives are standing candidates for every seat,
Green Party
have 9 standing and
UKIP
five.

Political control
[

Prior to 1974, Hull was a
county borough
, independent from any county council. Under the
Local Government Act 1972
it became a
non-metropolitan district
, with
Humberside County Council
providing county-level services. The first election to the reconstituted city council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its revised powers on 1 April 1974. Humberside County Council was abolished in 1996 and Hull became a unitary authority. Political control of the council since 1973 has been held by the following parties:
