Results of the 2011 Newcastle City Council election

The 2011 Newcastle City Council election took place on 5 May 2011 to elect one third of the members of Newcastle City Council in England. The elections took place on the same day as other local elections.

The result saw the Labour Party gain 12 seats from the Liberal Democrats, taking control of the council for the first time in seven years.

Two wards held elections at a later date. The election in Byker was postponed prior to polling day following the death of Conservative candidate Alice Gingell, and the election in Westerhope was abandoned following the death of Liberal Democrat candidate Neil Hamilton on polling day.[1] Both wards held elections on 16 June 2011.
