# 2017 Wrexham County Borough Council election

The 2017 Wrexham County Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2017 to elect members of Wrexham County Borough Council in Wales. This was on the same day as other 2017 United Kingdom local elections. The previous all-council election took place in May 2012.

## Background

The Labour Party held power on the council after the 2012 election, but lost it after splitting because of an internal row. Several Labour councillors became independent, allowing the Independent group to take control in alliance with the Conservatives.
In 2017, contests took place in 44 of the 47 wards.

## Results

The Independents lost three seats in comparison with their position immediately prior to the election, but remained the largest group. The Conservative group gained four seats. A coalition of the Independent group, the Wrexham Independents group and the Conservatives agreed to run the council for the next 5 years to 2022.
