The Local Government Association has published its updated political proportionality following the local elections, with Labour retaining its position as the largest group.
Labour holds the greatest share at 24.6%, followed by the Conservatives on 20.0% and Reform UK on 18.7%. The Liberal Democrats account for 17.6%, Independents 10.9% and the Greens 8.2%.
Under the LGA's Articles of Association, any political group with a weighted electorate share of 5% or more is entitled to reasonable support from the Association to help it influence parties on behalf of member authorities.
The figures have been independently verified, according to the LGA.
