2012 Redditch Borough Council election
The2012 Redditch Borough Council election for the Redditch Borough Council was held on 3 May 2012. All Council wards, apart from Abbey, Astwood Bank & Feckenham, and Crabbs Cross & Rural wards, voted in the local elections. In the Church Hill ward, two councillors were up for election, due to a by-election which was called after the death of Labour councillor Robin King, who died in February 2012.
