The 2011 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 5 May 2011 to elect members of Leeds City Council in England. It was held on the same day as other local elections across the UK.
As per the election cycle, one third of the council's seats were up for election. The councillors subsequently elected replaced those elected when their individual seats were previously contested in 2007.
After forming a minority administration following the 2010 election, the Labour Party regained overall control of the council for the first time since the council had been in no overall control in 2004. Labour gained seven seats, including four from the Liberal Democrats.http://www.leedsguide.co.uk/review/news/leeds-council-election-results-2011-labour-takes-control/18530 News: Leeds Council Election Results 2011: Labour Takes Control What's on in Leeds Eating Out in Leeds Listings Leeds Guide Magazine 2011-05-12 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110725073107/http://www.leedsguide.co.uk/review/news/leeds-council-election-results-2011-labour-takes-control/18530 25 July 2011 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/election2011/council/html/da.stm Elections 2011: England council elections - Leeds 2013-01-22 BBC News http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/leeds-local-election-2011-results-in-full-1-3358114 Leeds local election 2011: Results in full 2013-01-22 Yorkshire Evening Post http://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2011/67/ Local Elections 2011: Leeds 2013-01-22 andrewteale.me.uk
