"Following the May 2025 English local elections, Reform UK won more than 600 seats and took control of 10 councils, including Kent and County Durham. Reform campaigned on promises to cut waste, lower council tax and change how councils are run. Since taking office, it has said it is delivering savings and a new approach, while critics have questioned some of its claims and accused the party of breaking pledges not to raise council tax."

Reform UK won more than 600 seats and took control of 10 councils, including Kent and County Durham. The party campaigned on cutting waste, lowering council tax and changing how councils are run. Since taking office, Reform has claimed to deliver savings and a new approach, while critics have questioned some claims and accused the party of breaking pledges not to raise council tax. The Reform-led Worcestershire county council is likely to issue England's largest council tax rise this April. With Reform leading national polls, local government performance is positioned as a shop window ahead of the next general election. Residents in Reform-run authorities are invited to share experiences via a secure, anonymous form; personal data will be deleted when no longer required.
