The Conservative gains from Labour came in Borehamwood Hillside where they won by 235 votes and in the former Labour stronghold of Borehamwood Brookmeadow, which had been held by Tim Sandle since 1995 (the area had been subject to a recent boundary change, with the main Labour voting part of the ward being reallocated to Cowley ward). Labour did take one seat back from the Conservatives in Borehamwood Cowley Hill by 87 votes, after the sitting Conservative councillor for Cowley Hill, Martin Heywood, contested and held Potters Bar Oakmere instead with a 709-vote majority for the Conservatives. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats picked up a seat from the Conservatives in Bushey St James by 59 votes.http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/archive/2004/06/11/News+%28news%29/499002.Hertsmere_Tory_loses_to_Lib_Dems/ Hertsmere Tory loses to Lib Dems 11 June 2004 Borehamwood & Elstree Times 23 October 2011 Following the election the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties shared the main opposition role as both parties were on the same number of seats.http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news/500397.Level_parties_to_share_opposition_/ Level parties to share opposition Whitney Charles 16 June 2004 Borehamwood & Elstree Times 23 October 2011 Meanwhile, Labour chose a new leader, Leon Reefe, after Len Silverstone stood down as leader of the group. 2004 Hertsmere Borough Council electionhttps://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/composition_calc.html Composition calculator 12 January 2026 Colin Rallings & Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre, Plymouth Universityhttp://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons/lib/research/rp2004/rp04-049.pdf Local elections 2004 House of Commons Library 23 October 2011http://www.politicsresources.net/area/uk/loc04/Pages/hertsmere/results04.htm Borough Council elections – 10/06/2004 Hertsmere Borough Council Political Science Resources 22 October 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304063252/http://www.politicsresources.net/area/uk/loc04/Pages/hertsmere/results04.htm 4 March 2016 dead Conservative Party (UK) 10 1 76.9 15 25 64.1 13,278 53.9 +1.9 Labour Party (UK) 1 2 7.7 6 7 17.9 5,728 23.2 –4.4 Liberal Democrats (UK) 2 1 15.4 5 7 17.9 5,460 22.2 +3.1 Socialist Labour Party (UK) 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 181 0.7 –0.4 Ward results Incumbent councillors standing for re-election are marked with an asterisk (*).
