The election took place alongside both the 2015 United Kingdom general election and other local elections in England. With the concurrent general election, turnout significantly increased compared to the last local election. The Conservative Party was returned to a sixth term in office, continuing its hold on the council since its inception as a unitary authority in 1998. The Labour Party was reduced to the single seat of its group leader in Great Hollands North - its worst result since 1987. 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.
