Our 2026 North Tyneside Local Election Candidates
In 2026, voters across North Tyneside will elect councillors to represent their communities. These elections will help shape the future of our borough — from local services and regeneration to transport, community safety and protecting green spaces.
North Tyneside Conservatives are proud not only to stand a strong team of candidates, but also to have elected Conservative councillors already working hard for residents. Our team combines experienced local representatives with new candidates ready to serve their communities.
Our councillors and candidates live and work in North Tyneside. They understand the priorities of local residents and are committed to delivering practical, common-sense solutions that improve everyday life.
Our priorities include:
- Delivering value for money and keeping council tax under control
- Protecting and improving frontline services
- Supporting safer streets and stronger communities
- Protecting green spaces and local character
- Encouraging investment, jobs and economic growth
Where we are elected, we work all year round — not just at election time — listening to residents and standing up for their interests.
