Candidates and Results[edit][edit]

edit

Before the election, the council consisted of 33 Conservatives, 14 Liberal Democrats and 1 Independent.

Only the Conservatives contested all 48 seats. The Liberal Democrats contested 43 seats, while Labour contested 14, the UK Independence Party 7 and the Greens 2. There were also 3 independent candidates. One ward, Ampfield and Braishfield, was uncontested, meaning the Conservative candidate was elected by default.

Despite all 48 seats being up for election, only three changed hands: The Conservatives gained two seats in Andover, both from the Liberal Democrats, and, in the Abbey Ward of Romsey, defeated Independent Sally Lamb, who had been previously elected as a Liberal Democrat.
