The 2002 Hart Council election took place on 2 May 2002 to elect members of Hart District Council in Hampshire, England. The whole council was up for election with boundary changes since the last election in 2000. [1] The Conservative Party gained overall control of the council from no overall control. [2]

Campaign

The election saw 10 sitting councillors decide not to seek re-election including 3 former chairmen of the council. [3] 6 Conservatives were unopposed in the election in the wards of Crondall, Eversley, Long Sutton and Odiham, while several Independents stood for the council. [3] The independents included Archie Gillespie, a former Liberal Democrat standing as an independent after being deselected, former councillor Stephen Gorys and an "anti roadblock campaigner" Denis Gotel. [3]

During the campaign a Conservative candidate in Hartley Wintney, Andrew Davies, withdrew meaning only one Conservative would be standing in the ward against Independent Susan Band and 2 Liberal Democrats. [4]

Election result

The results saw the Conservatives gain a majority on the council after winning 22 seats on the council. [5] The Liberal Democrats were reduced to only 10 seats concentrated in their strongholds of Yateley and Hawley. [5] Meanwhile, 3 independents were successful in being elected, 2 in Fleet and 1 in Hartley Wintney. [5] Overall turnout in the election was 29.89%. [6]
