The 2006 Hart Council election took place on 4 May 2006 to elect members of Hart District Council in Hampshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.[1]
After the election, the composition of the council was:
- Conservative 16
- Liberal Democrat 12
- Community Campaign (Hart) 5
- Independent 2[2]
Election result[]
The results saw 2 seats change hands with the Community Campaign (Hart) (CCH) group winning them both.[3] One gain saw the Conservatives lose the seat of Church Crookham East, which Peter Hutcheson had held for the Conservatives for over 20 years, to the CCH.[3] The other gain saw the CCH win Crondall by 2 votes over the Conservatives, gaining the seat which had formerly been held by Independent Norman Lambert.[3] Lambert had resigned from the Conservative group in 2005 after admitting making false claims for council tax and housing benefit.[4] The changes meant that the Conservatives remained the largest party on the council with 16 seats but were vulnerable to a coalition among the other groups.[3] Overall turnout in the election was 39.35%.[5]
Following the election the Conservative administration of the council, which had run the council for the previous 8 years, was voted out.[6] They were replaced by a new Coalition Political Group, which was formed by the 12 Liberal Democrats, 5 Community Campaign (Hart) councillors and 1 of the 2 Independents, Denis Gotel.[6] The leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the council, David Neighbour, became leader of the new group and the new leader of the council.[6]
