The Green Party of England and Wales did not gain any seats, despite winning their first seat in 2019.[3]

The positions up for election in 2021 were last elected in 2018. In that election, Labour achieved 53.8% of the vote, and won 17 seats with 1 gained from the Conservatives, while the Conservatives won 2 with 1 gain from Labour.[4]
