The 2004 Harrogate Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of Harrogate Borough Council in North Yorkshire, England. One third 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】 Harrogate council )〕 After the election, the composition of the council was *Conservative 29 *Liberal Democrat 21 *Independent 4 ==Campaign== Before the election the Conservatives ran the council with 28 seats, while the Liberal Democrats had 21 seats and there were 4 independents. The Conservatives had gained a majority after 2 Liberal Democrats defected to the Conservatives in autumn 2003. 16 seats were contested in the election, all from the rural areas of the council. The candidates in the election were 16 Conservatives, 16 Liberal Democrats, 2 independents and 1 candidate from the British National Party.〔 The election was held under all postal voting,〔 for the first time in Harrogate. A significant issue in the election was the future of the Royal Hall in Harrogate.〔 The Conservative administration refused to fund the restoration of the building and said they would consider financing other projects elsewhere in the council area from the money saved.〔 However the Liberal Democrats would have put 2.6 million pounds towards restoring it, as they said future generations would have to spend even more if the council did not take action.〔 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「Harrogate Borough Council election, 2004」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
