Background

[edit]

After the last election in 2008 the Conservatives continued to run the council with 38 councillors, while the Liberal Democrats had 12 and there were 2 independents.[3] However, in July 2009 the UK Independence Party won their first seat on the council after Peter Reeve won a by-election for Ramsey ward, taking the seat from the Liberal Democrats.[4] He was then joined by the other Ramsey councillor, Andy Monk, who had been elected at another by-election in April 2009 as a Conservative,[5] but defected to the UK Independence Party in January 2010.[6]

Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats gained a seat from the Conservatives in another by-election in Fenstanton in February 2010.[7] These changes meant that going into the 2010 election there were 36 Conservative, 12 Liberal Democrat, 2 UK Independence Party and 2 independent councillors.[1]

Election result

[edit]

The Conservatives increased their majority on the council by 1 to have a majority of 22 seats on the council.[1][8]
