The 2010 Harlow District Council election took place on 6 May 2010 to elect members of Harlow District Council in Essex, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council.^[1]

After the election, the composition of the council was

• Conservative 18
• Labour 10
• Liberal Democrats 5^[2]

Background

The Conservative party gained a majority on the council at the last election in 2008 and after the election had 19 councillors, compared to 8 for the Liberal Democrats and 6 for Labour.^[3][4] In April 2009 the Liberal Democrats gained a seat in Staple Tye after a by-election, which had previously been held by independent David Kirton, who had been elected as a Conservative but suspended from the party in October 2008.^[5][6] However in September 2009 councillor Linda Pailing of Netteswell ward left the Liberal Democrats to become an independent and then would go on to join the Conservatives in January 2010.^[7]

Election result

At the same time as the Conservative party gained the Harlow parliamentary constituency from Labour at the 2010 general election, the party also held control of Harlow council.^[8] However Labour made gains to win 6 of the 11 seats contested, while the Liberal Democrats lost the seats of Bush Fair, Mark Hall and Staple Tye.^[8]
