Local government in England System of state administration on a local level in England

The pattern of local government in England is complex, with the distribution of functions varying according to the local arrangements.

Contents

The Conservatives held control of the council after winning it at the previous election with a sizeable, albeit reduced, majority of 14 seats. The Labour Party regained some of their 2007 losses in Loughborough and Shepshed whilst the Liberal Democrats lost four seats, leaving them with a sole councillor in Anstey. The British National Party only fielded three candidates and therefore lost a substantial share of their previous vote; they did, however, hold on to their one seat in East Goscote by just five votes, meaning Councillor Cathy Duffy became one of the few BNP councillors in the whole country to be re-elected.
