The Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is made up of 76 members representing 33 wards.
Councillors are elected to office, often representing a political party. Upon election, councillors may form political groups which may be the same or different to their political party. The calculated allocation of seats on committees is based on the representation of these political groups.
The political composition of the council based on the political groups is:
Conservative | 36 Councillors | |
Liberal Democrats | 15 Councillors | |
Christchurch Independents | 7 Councillors | |
Poole People and ALL | 6 Councillors | The Bournemouth Group | 4 Councillors |
Labour | 3 Councillors | |
Unaligned | 5 Councillors |
No single political group has overall control of the Council, however, the Council is run by the Unity Alliance comprising Liberal Democrats, Christchurch Independents, Poole People, Labour, other Independents, Green and Alliance for Local Living councillors.
The Register of Disclosable Pecuniary Interests for BCP Council Members is available.
A new Cabinet has been appointed comprising the Leader of the Council and nine portfolio holders.
