Bracknell Forest Borough Council election, 2015

The 2015 Bracknell Forest Borough Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect all the members of Bracknell Forest Borough Council in England to coincide with other local elections, an election which was held simultaneously with the 2015 General Election, resulting in higher turnout than the previous election.[1]

Results

Conservative party candidates won 41 of the 42 seats. A Labour Party councillor held one of seats of the Labour party group. The election saw a one-seat loss by Labour compared to the previous election.[2] As compared to the last election, the result marks a gain of one councillor by Conservatives. The result can alternatively be considered a gain of five Conservative councillors, counting three by-elections and a defection from the Conservative party grouping during the 2011-2015 council, bringing the Majority Group total before the election to 36.[3][4]
