The 2015 Brighton and Hove City Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of Brighton and Hove City Council in England. [1] This is on the same day as the general election and other local elections.

Contents

The election saw the Green party lose their minority control of the council. The party had gained control of the council from the Conservative Party following the previous election, with the party elected on a promise to resist cuts from central government. [2] During the administration however the council was faced with cuts of up to £80 million. [2]

Other issues faced by the party included internal disputes, which had seen several attempts to remove Green party leader (and leader of Brighton & Hove Council), Jason Kitcat. [3] In one prominent incident the Green administration faced a strike by the city's binmen, following changes to their allowances. The strike, undertaken during the summer, saw refuse go uncollected. The Green administration split over the strike, with several Green councillors (alongside Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas), including Kitcat's deputy, siding with the binmen. [3]

Following the election, the Labour Party formed a minority administration to run the council.
