2007 UK local government election From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2007 Bolsover District Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of Bolsover District Council in Derbyshire, England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour Party stayed in overall control of the council.[1]
Labour remained in control of the council but lost 4 seats to hold 27 of the 37 councillors.[2] Respect won their first seat on the council after Ray Holmes took Shirebrook North West by 31 votes, defeating the Labour whip on the council, Stephen Fritchley.[2][3]
Independents also made gains, with 7 independent councillors elected in Blackwell, Clowne North, Clowne South, Elmton-with-Creswell, Shirebrook South West and Tibshelf wards, up from 4 before the election.[2] Meanwhile, the Whitwell Residents Association held both seats in Whitwell, with their second candidate 39 votes ahead of an independent candidate.[4]
