NOC means "No Overall Control"; in practice what it means is that no one Party has an overall majority of the seats on the council, and therefore has to enter a coalition with one or more parties in order to run the council.
To give you a practical example, of the 60 seats on my council Labour has 26, which means that if all the other parties and groups represented on the council voted together they could outvote Labour, despite it having more seats than any other single party. Therefore, in order to govern, Labour has to work to get the support of at least four other Councillors from other parties or groups.

No Overall Control. It means that of the various parties represented on your local council no one party has a majority of seats and control of the council and it's policies can not be obtained by one political party on it's own. The control will be by two or more parties temporarily forming an alliance to run the council until the next election.

Do not vote for the NOC. Their manifesto says they're going to put a stop to all elections once they've been voted in.
