Background
Plymouth City Council held local elections on 5 May 2011 as part of the 2011 local elections. The council elects its councillors in thirds, with a third being up for election every year for three years, with no election in the fourth year. Councillors defending their seats in this election were previously elected in 2007. In that election, eleven Conservative candidates and eight Labour candidates were elected.
Ahead of this election, the Conservatives had controlled the council for four years, with the main opposition being the Labour Party.
