2022 Newport City Council election

The previous full council election took place in May 2017, though there had also been a number of by-elections in the city in the intervening period.

The Labour Party had controlled Newport since 2012 and the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and independents were hoping to make some inroads at this election.

[4] Routley and Mogford had been the sitting councillors for the former Langstone ward, which had the Bishton community added at this election.

The community of Nash was transferred from Liswerry to the Llanwern ward at this election.

Horton and Hussain had won seats in this ward at two separate by-elections in 2021.
