Sheffield City Council elections took place on 22 May 2014, alongsidenationwide local elections andEuropean elections.
There were 29 seats up for election, one third of the council with a double vacancy in Walkley.
With aLabour majority of 36 and defending 19 seats, it was almost mathematically impossible for Labour to lose control of the council, as they would have needed to lose all 19 of those 19 seats to lose control. Even then, Labour would still have been the largest party.

The Labour Party gained one seat from their position following the 2010 election, but this included a seat already gained from the Liberal Democrats via defection in Walkley. Furthermore, another seat already gained from the Liberal Democrats via defection in Beauchief & Greenhill was regained by the Liberal Democrats.
This result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the council after the elections:
| Party | Previous council | New council | +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labour | 60 | 59 | ||
| Liberal Democrats | 22 | 18 | ||
| Greens | 2 | 4 | ||
| UKIP | 0 | 3 | ||
| Total | 84 | 84 | ||
| Working majority | 36 | 34 | ||
Since2010, when these seats were last contested, twoLiberal Democrats had defected toLabour: Ben Curran in Walkley and Clive Skelton in Beauchief & Greenhill. The result in Stocksbridge & Upper Don was notable in that two former Liberal Democrat councillors stood for other parties. Martin Brelsford (defeated in 2011) stood as an Independent, whilst Jack Clarkson (defeated in 2012) stood forUKIP.
