Composition of Councils

 - only those councils with elections in 2011, NOT all councils. Initially this table will show the pre-election figures. As results come in we will update these figures. A council that whose composition has been updated will have its council name on a non-white background

Only a few days left now to the important local elections in England; and General Elections in Scotland and Wales. Across the country, including those areas of Engand without local elections we have the important referendum on Fairer Votes, and many colleagues will be lending their support to neighbours who DO have local elections!

Good luck with your campaigning!
