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.
The council remained under no overall control. The Labour leader of the council, John Kent, resigned at the subsequent annual meeting of the council. The leader of the Conservative group, Rob Gledhill, was elected leader of the council instead.[3]
