Hart District Council election, 2002
The 2002 Hart Council election took place on 2 May 2002 to elect members of Hart District Council in Hampshire, England. The whole council was up for election with boundary changes since the last election in 2000.[1] The Conservative party gained overall control of the council from no overall control.[2]
Campaign
The election saw 10 sitting councillors decide not to seek re-election including 3 former chairmen of the council.[3] 6 Conservatives were unopposed in the election in the wards of Crondall, Eversley, Long Sutton and Odiham, while several independents stood for the council.[3] The independents included Archie Gillespie, a former Liberal Democrat standing as an independent after being deselected, former councillor Stephen Gorys and an "anti roadblock campaigner" Denis Gotel.[3]
During the campaign a Conservative candidate in Hartley Wintney, Andrew Davies, withdrew meaning only one Conservative would be standing in the ward against independent Susan Band and 2 Liberal Democrats.[4]
Election result
The results saw the Conservative gain a majority on the council after winning 22 seats on the council.[5] The Liberal Democrats were reduced to only 10 seats concentrated in their strongholds of Yateley and Hawley.[5] Meanwhile, 3 independents were successful in being elected, 2 in Fleet and 1 in Hartley Wintney.[5] Overall turnout in the election was 29.89%.[6]
