Background Since its creation in 1974, Tameside has always been under Labour control, aside from 1978 to 1982 when the Conservatives held a majority.[ 1] The previous election in 2023 , which took place following boundary changes and thus required all 57 seats to be contested,[ 2] saw Labour increase its majority by three seats at the expense of two Conservative seats and the sole seat of the Green Party on the council.[ 3]
