==Changes 2010–2014==
 
The Conservatives lost the [[Earl's Court]] Ward by-election in September 2010 to the Liberal Democrats and narrowly won the Cremorne Ward by-election by only 19 votes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/councilanddemocracy/localdemocracyandelections/electionresultsarchive/cremornewardby-election.aspx |title=Cremorne Ward By-election Sep 2010 |publisher=Rbkc.gov.uk |date=2009-09-17 |access-date=2012-05-22 |archive-date=3 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110703041017/http://rbkc.gov.uk/councilanddemocracy/localdemocracyandelections/electionresultsarchive/cremornewardby-election.aspx |url-status=dead}}</ref> Many commentators blamed the Conservative councillors led by [[Merrick Cockell]] for these poor results, stating that the council did not adequately take into account residents' views on projects such as the proposed [[Thames Tideway Tunnel]] and the Earl's Court building works.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://conservativehome.blogs.com/localgovernment/2010/09/council-byelection-results-from-yesterday-1.html#comments |title=Council byelection results from yesterday &#124; Local Government |publisher=Conservativehome.blogs.com |date=17 September 2010 |access-date=22 May 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Hodges |first=Dan |title=By-election results in |url=http://kensington.londoninformer.co.uk/2010/09/by-election-results-in.html |work=Kensington & Chelsea Chronicle |access-date=22 May 2012}}</ref>
