Background

Before the election the Conservatives had 30 councillors, while both the Labour party and the Liberal Democrats had 4 seats.^[3] There was no election in the 4 Leigh Park wards in 2007 and as a result Labour was not defending any of their 4 seats on the council,^[3] while the Conservatives were defending 8 of the 10 seats that were contested.^[4]

Election result

The Conservatives won 9 of the 10 seats contested, taking 1 seat from the Liberal Democrats.^[5] This took the Conservatives to 31 seats on the council, which the Conservative council leader David Gillett said he believed was "the largest Conservative majority on the south coast".^[5] The only seat not won by the Conservatives was in Bedhampton where the Liberal Democrats held on by a majority of 319 votes.^[5] Overalll turnout at the elections was 35.2%.^[6]
