Results of the 2008 Cheshire West and Chester Council election

Elections to the newly created Cheshire West and Chester Council took place on 1 May 2008. Elections occurred in all 24 wards, with each ward returning 3 councillors to the council. The wards are identical to the former Cheshire County Council wards.

Contents

From May 2008 until April 2009, the elected members formed a "shadow" council, which made preparations for the changeover from the county and borough structure to the new unitary authority structure. [1] Thereafter, the members would serve for two years from May 2009. The next elections were held in May 2011. [2]
