Arun District Council election, 2015
The Arun District Council elections, 2015 are due to be held on Thursday 7 May 2015, alongside a general election, to elect all 54 members to Arun District Council, a second-tier authority in West Sussex. The incumbent Conservative administration will seek to win a 12th election in a row having controlled the council since 1973, whilst the opposition parties - the Liberal Democrats and Labour - will both hope to increase their number of seats.
The Council has undergone complete boundary changes since the last elections in 2011, reducing the number of councillors by 3.
