# 2019 Scarborough Borough Council election

The 2019 Scarborough Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members of the Scarborough Borough Council in England. It was held on the same day as other local elections.
While the Conservative Party remained the largest party on the council, they lost their majority, and thereby control of the council. In the aftermath of the election, a new administration led by the Labour Party, with support from the Green Party and a number of independent councillors, was formed; this administration would hold control of the council until its dissolution and replacement by the unitary North Yorkshire Council in 2023.
