Elections to Nottinghamshire County Council took place on 4 June 2009, having been delayed from 7 May, in order to coincide with elections to the European Parliament.

The Conservative Party gained control of the council for the first time since 1977, albeit with a slim majority. The Labour Party suffered a historic defeat, winning just 13 of 67 council seats, a reduction of 25 seats compared with the 2005 election. The Liberal Democrats also made gains at the expense of Labour, and the Mansfield Independents won 6 seats in Mansfield, all of which were gained from Labour.

Background

[edit]

In the previous election, held on 5 May 2005, the Labour Party won a majority with 36 out of 67 seats. The Conservative Party were second with 26 seats, and the Liberal Democrats had five.[1] Following the 2005 election, there were three by-elections, which all saw swings against Labour. The Conservatives gained Hucknall and the Liberal Democrats Sutton-in-Ashfield North from Labour, and the Labour Party's majority in Mansfield East was reduced by nearly two-thirds.[2]

Campaign

[edit]

A key local issue was the planned extension of the Nottingham Express Transit tram system to Clifton and Toton, which was opposed by the Conservatives.[3]
