Elections to Cheshire East Council took place on Thursday 5 May 2011. Elections occurred in all 52 wards, with each ward returning between one and three councillors to the council.
The wards were all new, having been created in a boundary review which took effect in January 2011.[1] They replaced the previous 27 three-seat wards used in the 2008 election, which were identical to the former Cheshire County Council wards.
Results
The Conservative Party retained overall control of the council, winning 52 out of 82 seats, with a majority of 36 councillors.[2]
