Election result


Labour became the largest party on the council with 24 councillors, but without a majority, after gaining 3 seats from the Conservatives in Belle Vue, St Aidans and Yewdale.[3][4] However Labour did lose one seat to the Liberal Democrats in Castle, with the Liberal Democrats also gaining a seat from the Conservatives in Dalston by 1 vote.[3][4] This meant the Conservatives dropped to 20 seats, while the Liberal Democrats went up to 7 and there remained 1 independent.[4] Overall turnout at the election was 42.6%, up from 31.4% in 2003.[5]


Following the election the Liberal Democrats continued to back the Conservatives to run the council, with Mike Mitchelson remaining as leader of the council.[6]
