The 2011 Crawley Borough Council election was held on 5 May 2011, concurrently with other local elections across England. The election contested one‑third of the seats on Crawley Borough Council, which is composed of 37 councillors representing 13 three‑member wards; therefore, 13 council seats were up for election.
Context and electoral system
Crawley Borough Council elections are conducted using first‑past‑the‑post voting in each ward, with one councillor elected per ward in each cycle of elections by thirds. The council operates on a four‑year term for each councillor.
Outcome
The Conservative Party retained overall control of the council after the election. No change in overall administration was reported. Detailed ward‑by‑ward results and the precise post‑election composition of the council (numbers of seats held by each party) are not consistently documented in widely available encyclopedic sources; therefore, exact seat counts are not provided here.
Significance
The election formed part of the broader set of local elections in England in 2011, which served as a mid‑term indicator of public opinion toward the national government and local party performance.
Note: Specific data on vote totals, percentage shares, and exact seat changes for individual parties in this election are not comprehensively recorded in readily accessible encyclopedic references.
