Conservatives win overall majority in Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council elections
BASINGSTOKE and Deane turned blue today after the Conservatives secured an overall majority on the borough council.
The Tories won 33 of the 54 seats across the newly formed 18 wards, after boundary changes saw the number of wards reduced from 29 to 18.
Labour won 10 seats, the Liberal Democrats five, while six seats were won by independents – five from the Basingstoke and Deane Independents group.
The Evingar ward - comprised of East Woodhay and Burghclere, Highclere and St Mary Bourne, and the west part of the Whitchurch - was taken by all three Conservatives standing: Samuel Carr, Graham Falconer and John Izett.
The Bramley ward meanwhile elected two Conservatives, Simon Mahaffey and Nick Robinson, and independent candidate Chris Tomblin.
Both the newly created Tadley & Pamber ward and Tadley North, Kingsclere and Baughurst ward returned three Conservative councillors.
David Leeks, Kerri Carruthers and Derek Mellor were elected in Tadley and Pamber, Stuart Frost, Geoff Poland and council leader Ken Rhatigan were elected in Tadley North, Kingsclere and Baughurst.
The previous borough council was ruled by a minority Conservative government.
