Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council election, 2015

The 2015 Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect all members of the council of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in England.^[1] This is on the same day as other local elections and coincided with the United Kingdom general election, 2015.

Election result

The election saw an eight-seat enlargement of local Conservatives' running group, having been the designation of the absolute majority of winning candidates hence governing group since 2007; the results saw four Independent (politician)s one of whom had defected in the previous term overturned, the latter in the same way as two UKIP councillors — and two Liberal Democrats lost to Conservatives. All wards of the United Kingdom in this borough consequently were served by Conservative councillors save for Old Windsor choosing its two delegates to be from Old Windsor Residents and Taxpayers Association and three-member Pinkneys Green at the opposite end of the borough which elected one Liberal Democrat, topping the poll by seven votes ahead of two Conservatives it elected and 312 votes ahead of the runner-up. Having run the council from 1995-1997 and 2003-2007, the party's single councillor represented a record low for the party, meaning the resident's association mentioned became the formal opposition.

National Flood Prevention Party

A runner-up was Ewan Larcombe who in 2011 founded the National Flood Prevention Party in Horton and Wraysbury and took his position regarding the intense 2013-2014 and dynamic of the River Thames since construction of the Jubilee River, its corollary protecting most of the borough;^[2] the combined effect of these inundated hundreds of homes in that ward and the military forces helped rescue people, to lay sandbags and Princes William and Harry laid sandbags as the British Royal Family have a strong connection to the Royal Borough, owning Windsor Castle. The position was symbolic as to speed the Thames Valley's drainage east of the borough the smaller-than-county size unitary (local government) authority would need to lobby. The UK government gave in relation to Wraysbury in 2014 assurances that money is no issue in funding the Environment Agency which primarily reduces river (fluvial) flooding and is implementing from 2019 a programme of works for lower Thames flood prevention proposed in 2003.^[3][4][5] Datchet upstream of that ward flooded for the first recorded time on the railway in the candidate's own ward.
