The 2019 Forest of Dean District Council election was held on 2 May 2019 as part of the 2019 United Kingdom local elections. This was the first election in the Forest of Dean following a boundary review, which reduced the total number of Councillors from 48 to 38. Due to the boundary review, party seat changes in the summary box (right) are based on notional results, not the actual 2015 results.[1]

Summary

Background

Only the Conservatives fielded candidates for all 38 seats. The Green Party fielded 27 candidates, Labour 24, the Liberal Democrats 5 and UKIP 2. There were 24 independent candidates.[2]

A Green Party candidate standing in Newen & Taynton ward, David Richard Humphreys, died whilst canvassing for the party, causing the election to be postponed to 20 June 2019.[3]
