Composition of the Council

The Council is made up of 50 councillors elected in all-out elections every four years (last elections 2007). Current political composition is Liberal Democrat 30, Labour 17, Independent 3. The 2003 elections saw the Liberal Democrats gain overall political control of the council from Labour, benefiting from boundary changes and substantial gains in Durham's eastern suburbs. Labour had held overall control of the City Council continually since the early 1980s.
