Local government election
The district is divided into 30 wards and each is represented on the district council by three councillors. Each councillor is normally elected on a first past the post basis for a four-year period which is staggered with the other councillors of that ward so that only one councillor per ward is up for election at any one time. Exceptions to this include by-elections and ward boundary changes.
The table below summarises the state of the council after the 2007 local government election. Each party is ordered by number of councillors. The comparison is between the state of the council before the election and afterwards. One seat was empty.
