The election in Stratford-on-Avon saw a trial of electronic voting in an attempt to increase turnout.^[5] However, there were some computer problems and delays in closing polling stations, which meant that results were delayed by an hour.^[6]

The results saw the Conservatives achieve a majority on the council, 5 years after they lost the majority.^[6] They gained the 4 seats they had required, after winning 2 seats from the Liberal Democrats in Bidford and Stratford New Town wards, and 2 from Labour in Southam and Studley.^[4] As a result, the Conservative leader on the council, Bob Stevens, took over the leadership of the council from Liberal Democrat, Susan Juned.^[6]
