The election took place alongside other local elections across England.

Overview

Prior to the election, the council was under no overall control, being led by a minority administration of local party Peterborough First.

All but two seats up for election in 2024 were last defended in 2021. Park ward was last defended in 2023, whilst one vacated seat in Werrington was last defended in 2022.

Going into the election, the position of the parties and the number of seats they were defending was:

Conservative: 17 defences* (8 other seats)
Labour (and co-operative) Party: 2 defences (12 other seats)
Peterborough First: 2 defences** (6 other seats)
Liberal Democrats: 1 defence (7 other seats)
Green Party: 1 defence (2 other seats)
Independents: 0 defences*** (2 other seats)

*Two of the Conservative defences were in Stanground South and Wittering, where the incumbents had defected to Peterborough First.{{Cite news |last=Jones |first=Ben |date=10 May 2022 |title=Chris Harper takes over as leader of Peterborough First group on city council |url=https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/politics/chris-harper-takes-over-as-leader-of-peterborough-first-group-on-city-council-3688584 |access-date=4 May 2024 |work=Peterborough Telegraph}}{{Cite news |last=Jones |first=Ben |date=21 May 2023 |title=Fourth councillor resigns from Peterborough Conservative Group over 'integrity' and 'ethics' |url=https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/politics/fourth-councillor-resigns-from-peterborough-conservative-group-over-integrity-and-ethics-4151502 |access-date=4 May 2024 |work=Peterborough Telegraph}}

**Peterborough First's two defences were in Werrington, where the incumbents were elected for the group's predecessor, Werrington First.

***The Green Party's defence was in Orton Waterville, where the incumbent councillor - Kirsty Knight - resigned from the party shortly before the election.{{Cite news |date=2024-03-07 |title=Peterborough councillor quits Green Party over clash of beliefs |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-68504691 |access-date=2024-04-05 |work=BBC News |language=en-GB}}
