2016 Cannock Chase District Council election

The Labour Party held control of the council with a slightly reduced majority of one compared with their tally following the previous election.

The Conservative Party won the highest number of seats and votes at the previous election but did not make any net gains on their 2012 result.

They did, however, regain a seat in Hawks Green which was held by a former Conservative councillor who had defected to UKIP.

This left the Conservatives with 13 seats on the council, confirming their status as the official opposition party.

^ Anne Bernard was the sitting councillor for the Hawks Green ward and previously defected from the Conservatives to UKIP.
