Political control
From 1894 to 1974 the town of Redditch was governed by an urban district council. Under the Local Government Act 1972 Redditch became a non-metropolitan district, retaining the same boundaries as the old urban district, but with significantly different powers. The first elections to the new council were held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council since 1974 has been held by the following parties:
