Background[edit]


At the last election in 2010 Labour took control of the council with 28 seats after gaining 5 seats, while the Liberal Democrats dropped to 15 seats and the Conservatives were reduced to 5 seats.[3] Labour were expected to make more gains in 2011, with the Liberal Democrats in particular expected to suffer from being in a coalition government with the Conservatives nationally.[4]


Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats were defending 7 seats in 2011, while the Conservatives defended 2 seats.[5] Other candidates at the election included 4 from the Green party, who had not put candidates up in previous elections.[5]



Election result[edit]


Labour increased its majority on the council after gaining 7 seats, including 6 from the Liberal Democrats.[6] This took Labour to 35 councillors, while reducing the Liberal Democrats to 9 seats on the council, with the only Liberal Democrat to be elected being Michael Haw in Eccleston.[6] Meanwhile, the wife of the Conservative group leader, Nancy Ashcroft, lost her seat on the council in Windle to Labour, reducing the Conservatives to 4 seats on the council.[6]
