# 2023 Braintree District Council election

The 2023 Braintree District Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Braintree District Council in Essex, England. This was on the same day as other local elections in England.
The Conservatives retained control of the council, but with a reduced majority.

## Summary

Prior to the election the Conservatives had a majority of 17 seats on the council. They had held a majority since 2007. There were four registered political parties represented on the council plus three independent councillors. The three independents formed a political group with the Greens called the "Green and Independent Group", led by Green councillor James Abbott.
After the election, the Conservatives retained their majority but it was reduced to just 3 seats. Conservative group leader Graham Butland continued to serve as leader of the council, a position he had held continuously since 2004. The Greens and independents continued to form a group after the election, but renamed the "Independent and Green Group" and with the group leadership passing to independent councillor Jo Beavis. The Labour group also changed their leader after the election; their previous leader David Mann had not stood for re-election so Lynn Jefferis was appointed to that role.
