The 2018 Bexley Council election took place on 3 May 2018 to elect members of Bexley London Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.
There were boundary changes which reduced the number of wards from 21 to 17 and the number of councillors from 63 to 45.
Overall results
The Conservatives retained control of the council, winning 34 of the new seats. Labour won 11 and UKIP won no seats.[1]
Former Labour councillor, Endy Ezenwata, defected to the Christian Peoples Alliance and subsequently lost re-election. Former councillor for Lesnes Abbey, Danny Hackett, stood here following the abolition of his former ward.
On 23 February 2019, Danny Hackett resigned from the Labour Party, citing a culture of "anti-Semitism, hatred and bullying." He will now sit as an Independent.
