Background

After the last election in 2004 the Conservatives had 27 seats, compared to 6 for Labour and 5 for the Liberal Democrats.[3] However, in 2005 a Liberal Democrat councillor for Hart Plain, Ron Purkis, defected to the Conservatives.[4]

Election result

The Conservatives increased their majority on the council to hold 30 of the 38 seats on the council after getting a swing in their favour.[5] Labour lost 2 seats in Leigh Park, with sitting councillors Ralph Cousins and Barry Gardner losing to the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats respectively.[5] Overall turnout at the election was 33.5%.[6]

Following the election Conservative David Gillett remained as leader of the council after surviving a leadership challenge within the Conservative group from David Guest by 4 votes.[7]
