Elections to Warwick District Council took place on Thursday 7 May 2015, with votes counted and declared on Saturday 9 May 2015.

Contents

A total of 46 seats were up for election, all councillors from all wards. The previous elections produced a majority for the Conservative Party. The boundaries of many of the wards across the District were changed from the previous election.

Boundary review

The 2015 election came after a boundary review. In 2011, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) decided to review Warwick District Council, since 30% of the wards had over 10% more voters than average. [1] According to the council, the review would "decide how many councillors [are] right for Warwick district" and a working party of one councillor from each political group would be set up to oversee the review process; the review was expected to cost the council £34,700. [1] The council sought to keep a similar number of councillors in order to manage councillor workload. [2] : 7  It was reported that consideration would be given to single-councillor wards, as well as to Warwick Gates and Chase Meadow becoming their own wards. [1]

The LGBCE announced its draft plans for consultation in 2012. The plans included keeping the number of councillors at 46, having mostly two-councillor wards, and significantly redrawing ward boundaries. [3] Comments on the proposed wards mainly focused on the areas of Bishop's Tatchbrook, Heathcote, Whitnash, and Myton. [2] : 8  The final recommendations were released by the LGBCE in March 2013. [2] They were enacted by the Warwick (Electoral Changes) Order 2014, a statutory instrument which was made on 8 January 2014, and came into effect at the 2015 election. [4]
