From the previous election, the council had undergone boundary changes which had reduced their number by 2. One councillor in Bersted had defected from the Liberal Democrats to the Green Party, bringing in the first Green councillor on Arun since the authority was formed in 1973.
Following the elections, the Conservatives held control of the council for their 12th term of office, with Cllr Gill Brown continuing as leader.

gollark: > According to gollark, the pathfinding in EWO was really weird because it tried to be turing-complete. This led to the achievement “How the fuck did we get here?”, intended to be almost impossible to obtain, be achievable in less than 6 minutes, by getting all emus to target you and using another bug to provide infinite sticks. This was discovered by runner Andrew_the_Emu.> Due to a bug, it is possible to change certain stats about the character in the menu before entering the game, notably the number of emu kills recorded. This is referred to as “premuing”.These would be hard to implement.
gollark: Also transitive dependencies and silly people.
