2007 East Hertfordshire District Council election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2007 East Hertfordshire District Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of East Hertfordshire District Council in Hertfordshire, England,[1] coinciding with other local government elections taking place across the country. The Conservative Party remained in overall control of the council, having held a majority since 1999.[2]
Being a traditionally Conservative district council in the East of England, it was presented with many of the issues with the first-past-the-post system. This included uncontested seats, unrepresented parties and some other disproportionate gains.[1]
