There was some controversy over alleged delivery of election material and campaigning due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom . One candidate in the election was reported to the Gloucestershire Constabulary for allegedly breaching lockdown regulations but she denied this and claimed that the leaflets were not election related. [3] The Liberal Democrats in the county claimed that it was a politically motivated attack on their campaign by the Conservative Party.
Background [ edit ] In the 2017 Gloucestershire County Council election , the Conservatives won overall of the council.[4]
