The 2024 Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council elections were held on 2 May 2024 alongside other local elections in the United Kingdom. One third of the 57 seats on the Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council was contested, with each successful candidate serving a four-year term of office, expiring in 2028. Labour retained their majority on the council.
Background Since its creation in 1974, Tameside has always been under Labour control, aside from 1978 to 1982 when the Conservatives held a majority. The previous election in 2023, which took place following boundary changes and thus required all 57 seats to be contested, saw Labour increase its majority by three seats at the expense of two Conservative seats and the sole seat of the Green Party on the council.
