The 2025 Thurrock Council election is due to take place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Thurrock Council in Essex, England. 49 seats will be elected. This will be on the same day as other local elections.
Background
The 2025 election will be held under new ward boundaries. The council is switching to all-out elections, having previously elected by thirds, as a result of a period of government intervention in the running of the council's finances.
At the last election in 2024, the Labour Party led by John Kent won an overall majority with 27 seats. The Conservatives led by Andrew Jefferies won a total of 13 seats, leaving the council administration and entering opposition. Independent politicians won 9 seats, five of whom were aligned with the Non-Political Alliance of Independent Councillors (NPAIC) led by Neil Speight. By July 2024, eight of the nine independents had joined the alliance. Alex Anderson, the unaffiliated independent, joined Reform UK in September 2024, becoming Reform's first councillor in Thurrock. In October 2024, NPAIC councillor John Allen left the NPAIC to sit as an unaffiliated independent, as he was considering standing for Reform UK in the 2025 council election, leaving the NPAIC with seven independents.
