Elections to Dacorum Borough Council in Hertfordshire, England were held on 3 May 2007. The whole council was up for election with boundary changes since the last election in 2003 reducing the number of seats by one. [1] The Conservative Party remained in overall control of the council after winning 44 of the 51 seats, partly attributing the "surprising" scale of the victory to national events, while the Liberal Democrats lost 2 seats but were pleased to become the official opposition.
