The 2015 Birmingham City Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of Birmingham City Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections, and also the 2015 UK General Election.

Birmingham City Council Local government body for the English city

Birmingham City Council is the local government body responsible for the governance of the City of Birmingham in England, which has been a metropolitan district since 1974. It is the most populated local council in the United Kingdom with, following a reorganisation of boundaries in June 2004, 120 Birmingham City councillors representing over one million people, in 40 wards. This means that Birmingham is technically the largest city in the United Kingdom. The council headquarters are at the Council House in the city centre. The council is responsible for running nearly all local services, with the exception of those run by joint boards. The provision of certain services has in recent years been devolved to several council constituencies, which each have a constituency committee made up of councillors from that district.

In Birmingham the Labour Party went against the trend across the United Kingdom, as they lost the General Election the Labour Party managed to strengthen its hold on Birmingham City Council as well as performing well in the Westminster seats. This is despite the problems facing the Council in the form of the recent Operation Trojan Horse scandal and the Kerslake review, which was highly critical of Birmingham City Council. Albert Bore (Labour Group leader) said the Labour Party did well in Birmingham because it was honest and open with the people of Birmingham and that the people of Birmingham felt they had been unfairly targeted by the Conservative led government.[ citation needed ]

The Labour Party is a centre-left political party in the United Kingdom which has been described as an alliance of social democrats, democratic socialists and trade unionists. The party's platform emphasises greater state intervention, social justice and strengthening workers' rights.

Operation Trojan Horse, also known as the Trojan Horse scandal, refers to a scandal involving an alleged conspiracy that there was an organised attempt by some individuals to introduce an Islamist or Salafist ethos into several schools in Birmingham, England. The name, based on the Greek legend, comes from an anonymous letter discovered in March 2014, alleged to be from Birmingham Islamists detailing how to wrest control of a school, and speculating about expanding the scheme to other cities. Around a month later, Birmingham City Council claimed that it had received "hundreds" of allegations of plots similar to those illustrated in the letter, some dating back over 20 years. Tahir Alam, former chairman of the Park View Educational Trust which ran three schools in Birmingham, was alleged to have written a 72-page document for the Muslim Council of Britain in 2007 detailing a blueprint for the "Islamisation" of secular state schools. The government's Department for Education initially responded to the scandal with lifetime bans against Alam, along with 14 other teachers, from the teaching profession in 2015. However, the bans against Alam and 13 other teachers were eventually overturned, dropped and/or dismissed in courts between 2016 and 2017.

Albert Bore British politician

Sir Albert Bore is a British nuclear physicist, academic and Labour Party politician.

All results compared to 2012, which is the term that expired in 2015. In 2011 Respect, who did not contest this election, were the main opposition to Labour in a small number of safe seats.
