Taunton Deane Borough Council election, 2015

The 2015 Taunton Deane Borough Council election is scheduled to take place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of Taunton Deane Borough Council in Somerset, England.[1] This is on the same day as the general election, and other local elections.

After the 2011 elections, the council was under no overall control, as the Conservatives won 28 seats, exactly half, while the Liberals Democrats took 23. Labour only won three seats, with the two remaining held by independent candidates.[2] Falling only one seat short of an overall majority, the Conservatives took on the leadership of the council as a minority administration, under Councillor John Williams.[3]
