Councillors

At the district ward elections in May 2015 voters elected 39 councillors representing 22 wards. A by-election was held in the Elsenham and Henham ward in February 2017. A by-election was held in the Newport ward in May 2017. The member for Saffron Walden Shire Ward resigned in November 2018 leaving one vacant seat. As this resignation falls within six months of the retirement of all councillors and ordinary elections in May 2019, no election will be held in respect of this vacancy. 

The political make-up of the council is: 24 Conservative Party councillors, 4 Liberal Democrats councillors, 10 Residents for Uttlesford councillors and one vacant seat.
