The British National Party put up 15 candidates, aiming to build on the 3 gains they had made in the2006 election.^[4] The party campaigned onimmigration, housing and crime and were hoping to take all 3 seats inPrinces End ward for the first time anywhere in the United Kingdom.^[5] However the British National Party was accused of "distortion and lies" by Labour and the Conservatives described the British National Party's councillors as an "embarrassment".^[5]

In the last couple of days before polling day, the council sent an advertising van around the area to remind voters about the election.^[6]
