The 2015 Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections, as well as the 2015 General Election. One major change was that Council Leader George Dunning and many other Labour councillors resigned from the party or were deselected and ran as independent candidates.[2] The election saw the council return to no overall control.[3]
