28 seats needed for a majority

Elections to Brighton and Hove City Council on the south coast of England were held on 3 May 2007. The whole council (a unitary authority) was up for election and all 54 councillors were elected.

The Conservative Party won 26 out of 54 seats on the council, replacing the Labour Party as the largest party and formed a minority administration. 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:

Party	±
Conservative Party (UK)}}"	Conservative	26
Labour Party (UK)}}"	Labour	13
Green Party of England and Wales}}"	Green Party	12
Liberal Democrats (UK)}}"	Liberal Democrat	2
Independent (politician)}}"	Independent	1
