Current composition Lab 19 Con 15 LD 15 - run by a Labour led Lab/LD coalition
The size of the council is to increase to 51 with Baldock and Royston each gaining a seat and two extra seats in the rural areas while Hitchin and Letchworth each lose a seat. The pattern of wards in the towns and the rural East of the district is maintained but there are major redrawing of wards in the rural West: The single member wards of Codicote and Kimpton are merged to form a two member Codicote & Kimpton Hitchwood, Off & Hoo (3 members) is split into a 2-member Offa and 1-member Hitchwood with some areas detached to form a new Graveley, St Ippolyts & Wymondley (2 members) with the rural parts of Chesfield ward. The bulk of the electorate of Chesfield ward are retained in the new Great Ashby ward (2 members). Elsewhere, Letchworth East is reconfigured as Letchworth Norton and Baldock Town as Baldock West
Safe Labour seats will be: Hitchin Bearton (3), Hitchin Oughton (2), Hitchin Walsworth (3), Letchworth Norton (2), Letchworth Wilbury (2). Total 12 Safe Conservative seats: Codicote & Kimpton (2), Hitchwood (1), Offa (2), Graveley, St Ippolyts & Wymondley (probably) (2), Ermine (1). Total 8 Safe Lib Dem seats: Hitchin Highbury (2), Weston & Sandon (1), Royston Heath (2), Royston Meridian (3), Cadwell (1), Arbury (1). Total 10 (the last three named would not be historically safe for them but seem to be on recent results - Hitchin Priory may also turn out to be in this category)
Con/Lab marginals: Letchworth Grange (2), Letchworth SE (3), Baldock West (3), Royston Palace (2). Total 10 Con/LD marginals: Knebworth (2), Hitchin Priory (2) (but see above), Great Ashby (2) (this may well also turn out to be a safe Lib Dem ward), Letchworth SW (3), Baldock East (2). Total 11
On the whole the new boundaries are helpful to the Conservatives and they are the only party capable of winning a majority, but its highly unlikely this will happen in 2024.

The glut of CPA candidates in Hitchin (compared with anywhere else) is not a new phenomenom, but it is weird..

For the purposes of approximating the total election votes across constituencies, I have allocated the wards here as follows -
Hitchin: Cadwell, Gravely, St Ippolyts & Wymondley, Great Ashby, Hitchin Bearton, Hitchin Highbury, Hitchin Oughton, Hitchin Walsworth, Hitchwood, Offa
North East Hertfordshire: Arbury, Baldock East, Baldock West, Ermine, Letchworth Grange, Letchworth South East, Letchworth South West, Letchworth Wilbury, Royston Heath, Royston Meridian, Royston Palace, Weston & Sandon
Stevenage: Codicote & Kimpton, Knebworth
The OS Election Maps site has not caught up wth the boundary changes so there was a bit of guesswork here.
