The 2016 Thurrock Council election took place on 5 May 2016 to elect members of Thurrock Council in England.[2] This was on the same day as other local elections.
There remains no overall control of the council. The Labour administration could have continued, until removed by a special motion,[3] but Councillor Kent chose to resign at the Annual Meeting and the leader of the Conservative group Councillor Gledhill was elected to replace him.
