2017 Perth and Kinross Council election
Elections to Perth and Kinross Council were held on 4 May 2017, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. The election covered the twelve wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with each ward electing three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation, with 40 Councillors being elected, a reduction of 1 member compared to 2012. Following the 2012 election a Scottish National Party minority administration took over the running of the Council with the support of the Scottish Conservatives . After this election, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrat groups formed a coalition with independents to run the administration. The sole Labour councillor, Alasdair Bailey, was initially named as part of the coalition, but soon insisted that he was not. In September 2019, the coalition ended as the Conservative group voted to continue in a minority administration. Ward results. Strathtay.
