Newcastle City Council

Newcastle City Council is the local authority for the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear, North East England. Newcastle has had a council from medieval times, which has been reformed on numerous occasions. Since 1974, the council has been a metropolitan borough council. In 2024, the council became a member of the North East Combined Authority. The council is based at the Newcastle Civic Centre. At the 2026 local elections, no party won overall control of the council. Subsequently, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party agreed a confidence and supply arrangement whereby the Liberal Democrats form the administration with the Greens offering support on an issue by issue basis.
