By-election results for three West Sussex County Council divisions - West Sussex County Council
The by-election results for St Leonard's Forest, Burgess Hill North and Hassocks & Burgess Hill South divisions have been declared.
www.westsussex.gov.ukHere’s the latest that’s been reported so far on West Sussex election results (with some related Sussex-counting context), as of 8 May 2026:
West Sussex County Council (reported live status)
- Coverage indicates the West Sussex County Council result was still coming in, with an updated snapshot showing Lib Dems 23, Reform UK 15, Conservatives 11, Greens 7, Others 5 (at one point during counting).[1]
Borough/district results mentioned in the same update
The same live reporting round also listed these neighbouring Sussex results (not all are “West Sussex” proper, but are relevant to the same local election cycle):
- Worthing Borough Council: “no party in control,” with Labour 15, Greens 8, Conservatives 6, Reform UK 5, Independents/Others 2, Lib Dem 1.[1]
- Adur: Labour hold reported as Labour 17, Reform UK 6, Independents/Others 4, Greens 2, Conservatives 0.[1]
What’s still unclear
- “West Sussex election results” can mean multiple contests (county council, borough/district seats, and individual divisions), and the county-level outcome may not be final yet in the latest reporting snapshot.[4][1]
If you tell me which election you mean (e.g., West Sussex County Council vs Worthing vs a specific district/division) I can narrow this to just the results for that area.
