Election 2009

2007 election graph

On June 4th, there are a large number of elections across Shepway. Everywhere in the area there are elections for the European and County Council elections, and in some areas, there are also District / Town / Parish By-elections as well.

The Liberal Democrats are fighting across Kent and are expected to mount a real challenge to the Conservatives in the Shepway area. Only the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives are contesting every seat up for election in Shepway.

Following their collapse in vote to under 2% across Shepway in the 2007 District Council elections, Labour have failed to even stand a candidate in the Hythe West District Council by-election. Only the Liberal Democrats can beat the Conservatives across Shepway.
