Background

Since the last election in 2002 a Conservative councillor, Carol Shaw of Brondesbury Park ward, had defected to the Liberal Democrats, [2] while in April 2006 Labour councillor, Jonathan Davies of Queen's Park ward, also joined the Liberal Democrats. [3] In the Brent area the Liberal Democrats had also gained the parliamentary seat of Brent East from Labour at a 2003 by-election and held the seat at the 2005 general election. [4] [5] The defections meant that before the election Labour had 34 seats on the council, compared to 15 for the Conservatives and 11 for the Liberal Democrats. [1]
