Boundary changes
- The election followed a boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE), which redrew many ward boundaries.
- The aim was to keep about 46 councillors and to have wards with more equal numbers of voters, mostly two-councillor wards.
- Draft plans were published in 2012, final recommendations came in March 2013, and the Warwick (Electoral Changes) Order 2014 enacted the changes for the 2015 election.
