2014 Leeds City Council election
Leeds City Council elections took place on 22 May 2014, the same day as the European elections. One third of the council was up for election to replace the councillors elected in 2010.[1]
Prior to the election, Calverley & Farsley Councillor Joseph Marjoram had resigned from the Conservatives to sit as an independent. Labour had been in overall control of the council since the 2011 election and their majority was unchanged following this election. [2][3]
