Borough elections
New ward arrangements were implemented in 2024. Before this, Brentwood Borough Council had 37 seats covering 15 wards. Councillors sit for four years and elections are by 'thirds' meaning a third of the seats are contested each time. As some wards had only one or two councillors, not every ward was contested each time there were local elections.
