The 2015 Bracknell Forest Borough Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect all 42 councillors in 18 wards for
The local Conservative party had been rocked by a series of suspensions and defections during the last term. After a revolt on the Conservative group over housing, Chas Bailey (Hanworth), Shelagh Pile (Harmans Water), and Michael Sargeant (Bullbrook) were suspended for four months.[2] Bailey initially returned to the Conservatives,[2] but later elected to stand as a 'Hanworth & Birch Hill Residents' candidate after being de-selected.[3] Sargeant and Pile declined to rejoin, sitting first as independent conservatives,[2] and then later joining the fledging UKIP.[4] Several other Conservative councillors were de-selected for the 2015 election,[3] including former council leader Alan Ward (Central Sandhurst).[5] Will Davison (Hanworth) also joined UKIP after being de-selected.[3] Davison and Pile stood as UKIP candidates but both lost their seats, as did Bailey. For a period, after the death of Alan Kendall in Winkfield & Cranbourne,[6] the final council composition before the election was 35 Conservatives, 3 UKIP, and 2 Labour, and 1 Hanworth & Birch Hill Residents.
