Background

The last election in 2002 saw the Conservatives gain a majority of seats after winning 33 seats, compared to 24 for Labour and 6 Liberal Democrats. [2] In December 2005 the Liberal Democrats gained a seat in High Barnet from the Conservatives in a by-election, after having come third in the ward in 2002. [3] This meant that before the election the Conservatives had 31 seats, the Labour party 24, Liberal Democrats 7 and 1, formerly Conservative, seat was vacant. [2]

A total of 219 candidates stood in the election for the 63 seats being contested across 21 wards. [2] These included a full slate from the Conservative and Labour parties, while the Liberal Democrats had 3 candidates in all but one ward. [2] Other candidates included the Green Party who stood at least one candidate in each ward, as well as 3 from the United Kingdom Independence Party, 1 Victory United candidate and 2 independents. [2] 14 councillors did not stand for re-election and a further 1, Daniel Hope, stood in a different ward. [2]

Election result

The results saw the Conservatives increase their majority to 11 after winning 37 of the 63 seats. [4] Overall turnout in the election was 41.65%, an increase on the 2002 election turnout of 34%. [2] This turnout included 33,892 postal votes, a rise from 29,195 in 2002. [2]

Following the election the Conservative leader of the council, Brian Salinger, lost a vote of no confidence in the Conservative group by 21 votes to 16 and was replaced as leader by his deputy Mike Freer. [5]

Cllr. Olwen Evans died on 25 December 2006 after a long battle with cancer. She had served East Barnet Ward as a councillor for 24 years (1978-1994 and 1998–2006). [8] Turnout was reasonable but lower than usual for this ward due to snowfall on the day of the election, which closed many schools and curtailed refuse collection.
