2018 Cannock Chase District Council election

The Labour Party held control of the council by maintaining its slim majority of one.

The Conservatives strengthened their position as the largest opposition group on the council by increasing their number to 15 councillors.

Their numbers were previously boosted by the defection of two sitting UKIP councillors whose four-year terms were coming to an end; they held onto their seats in these areas whilst also gaining a seat from UKIP and another from an independent in Rugeley, leaving them with four gains.

They held onto their last remaining seat in Brereton & Ravenhill but their vote continued to decline in other areas.

There were two independent candidates, including the sitting councillor for the Western Springs ward who lost his seat to Conservatives.
