Election Summary

After the 2007 elections, the Conservatives held 45 seats, the Liberal Democrats held 14, and one seat was Independent; Prior to this election, Independent Councillor Danny Cracknell died, [3] with the Conservatives winning a subsequent by-election, meaning that the Conservatives held 46 seats and Liberal Democrats held 14.

The Conservatives again increased their control of the council, winning 54 seats out of 60, with the Liberal Democrats holding the remaining six.

Note that comparisons to the previous election do not include Bramshaw, Copythorne North and Minstead, as a by-election was held several months later instead.

The table below only tallies the votes of the highest polling candidate for each party within each ward. This is known as the top candidate method and is often used for multi-member plurality elections.
