The 2007 Craven District Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of Craven District Council in North Yorkshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.[1]

After the election, the composition of the council was

  • Conservative 13
  • Independent 11
  • Liberal Democrats 6[2]

Background

Before the election the council was run by an alliance between the 11 independents and the 6 Liberal Democrats, while the 13 Conservative councillors were in opposition.[3] 10 seats were contested at the election with the Conservatives needing to make at least 2 gains to take control.[4]

Candidates at the election included Conservative candidates in every ward, while there were no candidates from the Labour party.[3] The British National Party meanwhile stood their first candidate in an election for Craven council in Skipton South.[3]

Election result

There was no change to the party balance on the council, after the Conservatives gained a seat from an independent, but also lost a seat to another independent candidate.[5] The Conservative gain came in Skipton South, where they defeated the vice-chairman of the council, Mike Hill, while they lost Bentham to an independent by 5 votes after 3 recounts.[6]
