Lancashire Council election, 2005

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lancashire County Council held its elections on 5 May 2005, on the same day as the United Kingdom general election, 2005.

Each single-member ward in Lancashire was modified by boundary changes. No elections were held in Blackpool or Blackburn as they are unitary authorities outside of the county boundaries.
