2012_Bridgend_County_Borough_Council_election
The 2012 Bridgend County Borough Council election took place on 3 May 2012 to elect members of Bridgend County Borough Council in Wales.[1] This was the same day as other 2012 United Kingdom local elections.
With a 34.99% turnout of the electorate, the Labour Party won an additional 12 seats. This gave the Labour Group an overall majority, which they had not had for the previous eight years. However, Labour's council cabinet member, Alana Davies, lost her seat (Porthcawl East) to an Independent candidate. The Conservatives retained only the Newton seat, losing five councillors.[2]
