2007 Brighton and Hove City Council election


Elections to Brighton and Hove City Council on the south coast of England were held on 3 May 2007. The whole council was up for election and all 54 councillors were elected.
The Conservative Party replaced the Labour Party as the largest party on the council. However, the council remained under "no overall control" : the Conservatives won 26 out of the 54 seats in the city. This result was to some extent in line with the general pattern of results throughout England that day, with Conservatives gaining seats at the expense of Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The Green Party increased its number of seats from 6 to 12.
Following the election, the composition of the council was as follows:
