Background

Before the election the Conservatives ran the council with 38 seats, compared to 22 for Labour and 3 for the Liberal Democrats.

[2] The Green party stood 43 candidates, while there were 9 candidates from UKIP, 5 independents and 1 from Left Unity. However on 19 May 2014 Barnet Council announced the cancellation of the local election poll for Colindale ward after Green party candidtate Jessica Yorke, died.[3] Barnet council then announced that the election in Colindale will take place on 26 June 2014.[4]

The Conservatives lost 8 seats to Labour, but gained 2 seats from the Liberal Democrats. This left Labour on 27 seats, while the Liberal Democrats were reduced to 1 seat in Childs Hill.
