The 2007 Winchester Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of Winchester District Council in Hampshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council. After the election, the composition of the council was *Conservative 29 *Liberal Democrat 23 *Independent 4 *Labour 1 ==Campaign== 19 seats were contested in the election with both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats putting up candidates in all of the contested wards. Labour had 15 candidates, the United Kingdom Independence Party 6, Green Party 2 and there were 2 independents.〔 The Labour leader on the council, Peter Rees, stood down at the election, while St Bartholomew ward had the first Muslim candidate for the council in the Conservative Adbul Kayum. Since the 2006 council election the Conservatives had controlled the council with a narrow majority.〔 Refuse collection was an important issue in the election, after the Conservative council planned to move from weekly to fortnightly collections in June for more of the council area including Swanmore, Whiteley and Wickham. They said this would boost recycling, but the Liberal Democrats said residents were against the move and that they would collect kitchen waste every week if they controlled the council.〔 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「Winchester City Council election, 2007」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
