Salford City Council election, 2011
Elections to Salford Council were held on 5 May 2011, as part of the wider United Kingdom local elections, 2011.
Salford local elections are organised 'in thirds', with Councillors elected in 2007 defending their seats in 2011, with vote share changes calculated on that basis.
One third of the council was up for election. The Labour Party gained five seats and remains in overall control of the council. The results mirrored those of the 2010 elections with Labour winning the same seventeen wards and the Conservatives three wards.
The composition of the Council following the 2011 elections is:
