West Wiltshire Council election, 2007

Elections to West Wiltshire District Council were held on 3 May, 2007. The whole council was up for election and the Conservatives took control.

Most wards had boundary changes or were new. One Conservative was unopposed.

Of the 44 new members, 21 were not members of the outgoing council.

The district councillors were elected on 3 May 2007 for a four year term of office, but a review of local government determined in 2008 that the four district councils of Wiltshire should be merged with Wiltshire County Council to form a new unitary authority for Wiltshire with effect from 1 April 2009, when the district councillors' term of office will end. Only the county council will be treated as a "continuing authority", and elections to the new unitary council are foreseen in May or June of 2009.
