The 2006 Wyre Forest District Council election took place on 4 May 2006 to elect members of Wyre Forest District Council in Worcestershire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control. After the election, the composition of the council was *Conservative 18 *Health Concern 9 *Liberal 7 *Labour 4 *Liberal Democrats 2 *Independent 2 ==Campaign== Before the 2006 election the Conservatives had 18 seats on the council, both Health Concern and the Liberals had 8 seats, Labour had 4 seats and both the Liberal Democrats and independents had 2 seats. Since the last election in 2004 one Conservative councillor, Louise Edginton, had left the party to become an independent, after not being selected as a candidate for the 2005 Worcestershire County Council election. 14 seats were contested in the election with the Conservatives defending 7, Health Concern 4 and the Liberals 3. 50 candidates, including the leader of the council Stephen Clee, stood in the election with the Conservatives hoping to take overall control.〔 Local health services continued to be the major issue in the campaign after the local NHS trust announced in April 2006 that it would have to cut 720 jobs in order to save money.〔 Other issues in the election included council tax, with the Conservatives saying they had reduced its burden since they began running the council in 2004, and a lack of affordable housing which Labour wanted to address. 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「Wyre Forest District Council election, 2006」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
