Elections to South Cambridgeshire District Council were held on Thursday 3 May 2018[1] as part of the 2018 United Kingdom local elections. Forty five seats, making up the whole of South Cambridgeshire District Council, were up for election in twenty six wards. The council previously had 57 members, last elected by thirds in 2016, 2015 and 2014. Following a boundary review, there has been a reduction of twelve seats to 45 and the electoral pattern has changed from election by thirds to all out elections, meaning that all seats were up for election on this occasion.[2]
In a surprise result, the Liberal Democrats took control of the council, winning 30 seats.[3][4] The district had been controlled outright by the Conservative Party since the 2007 election.
