Your Liberal Democrat Councillors in NorthamptonIn the Borough Council Elections held on 3rd May 2007 and the Liberal Democrats took control of the Borough for the first time with a majority of 26 seats, adding the wards of Parklands, Eastfield, St. James, and Thorplands to Liberal Democrat control. The Conservatives were left with 15 seats, New Labour with 5, and one independent Councillor. In the County Council Elections of 1997 the Liberal Democrats won 4 seats all in Northampton. Later that year one Liberal Democrat Councillor defected to Labour giving the party 3 councillors. The County Council elections in May 2001 saw the party loose all but one of its County Council seats. This was only be a temporary state of affairs as the election held on the 5th May 2005, saw the return of the Liberal Democrats Group to the County Council with a larger and stronger group of 7 with all the seats being in Northampton. In January 2006 the County Council Group grew to 8 Councillors when Cllr Mel de Cruz crossed the floor from Labour. In December 2008, Cllr Maureen Hill crossed the floor from the Conservatives, making us a group of 9.
