# 2014 Tower Hamlets London Borough Council election

Elections to Tower Hamlets London Borough Council took place on 22 May 2014, the same day as other United Kingdom local elections, the election of the directly elected mayor of Tower Hamlets, and the European Parliament elections. Voting in Blackwall and Cubitt Town Ward was postponed due to the death of a candidate. The Mayoral election is particularly notable for the voiding of the result due to widespread corruption.
As of 6 March 2017 the composition of the borough council was: 22 Labour, 9 Independent Group Councillors, 5 Peoples Alliance of Tower Hamlets, 5 Conservatives, 3 Independents and 1 Liberal Democrat.

## Reduction in council size

The Tower Hamlets (Electoral Changes) Order 2013 reduced the size of the council and created new electoral wards.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England began the process of changing the size of Tower Hamlets Council in 2012. The new wards for the elections in 2014 are as follows.
Electoral wards in Tower Hamlets, 2014 :
