What is a Labour-led council?
A Labour-led council means that the Labour Party holds the majority of seats among the elected councillors, and therefore forms the administration that runs the local authority. This political group makes key decisions, such as approving the £1m project for the crematorium, influencing local policies and spending priorities in Middlesbrough.
