Background

The last election in 2006 had the Conservatives hold a majority with 34 seats, compared to 27 for Labour and 2 from the Save Chase Farm group.[2] Between 2006 and 2010 Labour gained a seat from the Conservatives in February 2009 at a by-election in Jubilee ward, but a Labour councillor Denise Headley defected to the Conservatives in August 2009.[3][4]

11 councillors stood down at the election, 7 Conservatives and 4 Labour, including the leader of the Labour group Jeff Rodin.[5] Parties standing at the election, included the Green party who stood in every ward for the first time, the UK Independence Party who had 5 candidates and the British National Party who had 4.[5]

Election result

Labour gained control with 36 seats after winning all 3 seats in 12 wards, while the Conservatives won 27 seats in 9 wards.[6] Labour dominated the east of the borough, while the Conservatives held the seats in the west.[7] Wards where Labour gained from the Conservatives included Enfield Lock, Palmers Green, Southbury and Turkey Street, but the Conservatives gained 2 seats from Save Chase Farm councillors.[7][8]

Following the election Doug Taylor became the new Labour leader of the council, after being elected unopposed as the leader of the Labour group.[9]
