Map of the results of the election. Colours denote the winning party, as shown in the main table of results.

The 2015 Bassetlaw District Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect all 48 members of Bassetlaw District Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.[1]

Prior to this election the council decided that the whole council will be elected every four years in future, starting in 2015. Previously, the council had been elected by thirds with elections being held every year except the year in which elections to Nottinghamshire County Council were held in the area. The next election will therefore be held in 2019.[2][3]

Result

The election resulted in the Labour Party retaining its control of the council.[4][5]
