The Sunderland council election results for 2021 are now in. All in all, over 120 prospective councillors took part with 28 seats up for grabs across the city. Normally the city chooses 25 councillors but this year 3 wards had to elect 2.
Elections: Sunderland City Council 2021.
Date: 6th of May 2021 – polling stations closed at 10 pm prompt.
Count took place at Silksworth Sports Complex with Covid-19 social distancing rules in force with masks being worn.
The first Sunderland result to be declared tonight was the Hendon seat. Former deputy council leader Michael Mordey (Labour) lost his seat to the Lib Dems. Indeed, the Labour Party lose yet more seats as their hold on the city continues a steady decline. We saw this trend start in the 2019 local elections and the General Election in the same year.

Labour Party (42 seats) -9
Conservative (18 seats) +6

Summing Up The Sunderland Council Results 2021
The Labour Party suffer yet another blow in Sunderland as they lose 9 more seats to the Tories and the Lib-Dems. Without a doubt, we will see yet another inquest but the reality is that the Labour Party are going backwards in all ways. At this rate, the city may not have a Labour majority in a couple of years. Who said politics wasn’t interesting!
