The 2004 Fareham Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of Fareham Borough Council in Hampshire, England. Half of the council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Fareham council )〕 After the election, the composition of the council was *Conservative 22 *Liberal Democrat 9 ==Campaign== Before the election there were 18 Conservative and 12 Liberal Democrat councillors, with 15 of the 31 seats being contested. One of the 15 seats, in Fareham South ward, was vacant after an independent, former Liberal Democrat, councillor had stepped down, after being fined for false housing and council tax benefit claims.〔 Fareham South was among a number of wards which were reported as being vulnerable to a change in party control including Fareham East, Fareham North, Portchester West, Stubbington and Titchfield Common.〔 A couple of former councillors who had been defeated in the 2002 election stood again, former Labour group leader Mick Prior in Fareham North-West and Conservative Nick Walker in Portchester West.〔 Issues in the election included council tax levels and plans by the government to build 1,000 houses near Sarisbury.〔 The national issue of the Iraq War was also seen as being likely to sway votes in the election.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fareham Borough Council election, 2004」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
