Election results

[edit]

The results saw the Conservatives win a majority on the council, after having had the same number of seats as theLiberal Democrats for the previous 2 elections.^[3] The Conservatives won 14 of the 20 seats which were up for election, including one uncontested seat in Wokingham Without.^[4] They made 4 gains from the Liberal Democrats in thewards of Coronation,Finchampstead North and Little Hungerford to finish the election with 30 seats as compared to 22 for the Liberal Democrats.^[3] Meanwhile,Labour won their first seat on the council since 1994 after making a gain in Bulmershe ward from the Liberal Democrats.^[3] Overallturnout was 32.8%.^[4]

The Conservatives said they were delighted with the results which they put down to their campaign on issues includinggreen fields, crime and transport, and to the Liberal Democrats being out of touch with local residents.^[3]^[4] They said that now they had control of the council they would take action on crime andtraffic congestion and review the number of new houses planned.^[3] Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrat leaderCharles Kennedy described the results in Wokingham as predictable and a "slight set-back", which he put down to them defending seats from when the Conservatives were performing much less strongly nationally.^[3]
