The 2015 Plymouth City Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of Plymouth City Council in England.
The Labour Party lost its narrow majority, resulting in no party having overall control.
Plymouth City Council held local elections on 7 May 2015 along with councils across the United Kingdom as part of the 2015 local elections. [1] The council elects its councillors in thirds, with a third being up for election every year for three years, with no election in the fourth year. [2] [3]
Councillors defending their seats in this election were previously elected in 2011. In that election, twelve Labour candidates and eight Conservative candidates were elected. Two Labour candidates had been elected in St Peter and the Waterfront due to a by-election coinciding with the council election, only one of whom was defending their seat in this election. [4]
