2007 Sedgefield Borough Council election

Add article description

Elections to Sedgefield Borough Council were held on 3 May 2007. The whole council was up for election and the Labour Party stayed in overall control of the council.

A notable result was in New Trimdon and Trimdon Grange ward where the Conservative Party candidate Shirley Bowes obtained no votes.^[1]

This was the last Sedgefield borough election to be held during the premiership of the borough's then MP, Tony Blair, who resigned as Prime Minister and as the Member for Sedgefield the following month.
