Campaign

[edit]

Before the election the Conservatives ran the council with 28 seats, while theLiberal Democrats had 21 seats and there were 4independents.^[3] The Conservatives had gained a majority after 2 Liberal Democrats defected to the Conservatives in autumn 2003.^[4] 16 seats were contested in the election, all from therural areas of the council.^[5] The candidates in the election were 16 Conservatives, 16 Liberal Democrats, 2 independents and 1 candidate from theBritish National Party.^[5] The election was held under allpostal voting,^[5] for the first time in Harrogate.^[6]

A significant issue in the election was the future of the Royal Hall in Harrogate.^[5] The Conservative administration refused to fund the restoration of the building and said they would consider financing other projects elsewhere in the council area from the money saved.^[5] However the Liberal Democrats would have put 2.6 millionpounds towards restoring it, as they said future generations would have to spend even more if the council did not take action.^[5]

Election result

[edit]

The results saw the Conservatives stay in control, with no change in the party composition of the council.^[4] The Conservatives gained LowerNidderdale from the Liberal Democrats, but Conservative cabinet member Brian Lumsden was defeated inBoroughbridge by Liberal Democrat Peter Phillips,^[4] in what had been considered a safe seat.^[7] The Conservatives won 62.5% of the vote, compared to 34.2% for the Liberal Democrats.^[4] As a result, the Conservatives remained on 29 seats, the Liberal Democrats on 21 and 4 independents.^[8]
