Election result

The results saw the Conservatives gain 2 seats to hold 28 seats, level with the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties combined and leaving 4 Independents holding the balance on the council. [3] [4] The Conservatives increased their share of the vote and picked up Burghclere from a former Conservative turned independent, and Winklebury from Labour. [4] Labour lost votes with the Labour leader of the council Rob Donnelly losing his seat in Popley East and the Liberal Democrats taking a seat from Labour in Brighton Hill South. [4] Overall turnout in the election was 38.24%, in increase from the 31.33% in 2003, and put down to the European elections being held at the same time as the council election. [4]

Following the election the Liberal Democrat and Labour alliance continued to run the council, after winning a 1-vote majority over the Conservatives at the annual council meeting. [5] Independent Martin Biermann became chairman of the environment committee and a further 2 Independents became vice-chairmen of committees, leading to accusations by the Conservatives that a deal had been done with the Independents, but this was denied.
