The 2015 North Somerset Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of North Somerset Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections around the country.

North Somerset unitary council is elected every four years, with fifty councillors to be elected. Since the first election to the unitary authority in 1995, the council has either been under Conservative party control, or no party has held a majority. The Conservatives gained a majority at the 2007 election and have retained control since then. At the 2015 election, the outcome was as follows:[2]

#0087DC #DCDCDC #FAA61A #E4003B #02A95B
Party Councillors
Conservatives 36
Independents 6
Liberal Democrats 4
Labour 3
Greens 1
