Local elections 2023: All the results from Gateshead Council – how every candidate scored

Two seats changed hands in Gateshead on local election day – with Labour suffering defeats in two areas where the council has put leisure centres under threat of closure.

The Liberal Democrats made gains in both Saltwell and Birtley after voters went to the polls on Thursday. Both are areas where Gateshead Council has put local leisure centres at risk of being closed down under budget cuts, in a controversy that stretches back to last October.

However, Gateshead remains a solidly Labour council nonetheless, with the ruling party having 49 of the authority's 66 seats. Using our special results tool below, you can check all the Gateshead Council results from local elections day 2023.
