The number of close results in so many wards perhaps is the reason for this. The Conservatives lost four seats at these elections, in the following wards. Arley and Whitacre, where Labour gained the second seat, and also came 18 votes short of winning the third seat. Atherstone Central, where Labour retained the seat they won at the last council elections in 2007 and additionally retained their March 2009 by-election gain of the one Conservative seat in the ward. Coleshill North, where Labour gained the first seat, while coming 17 votes short of winning the other seat. This was the first time Labour won a seat in this ward since 1995. Polesworth West, where Labour gained the Conservative seat, while retaining the seat Labour held in 2003 and 2007. The number of seats could have flipped the other way if the Conservatives managed to have won in Atherstone North, where both of the Conservative candidates received 522 votes, which was 32 votes behind taking the second seat in that ward, which bizarrely wasn't one of the four seats the Conservatives lost at these elections. Even more astonishingly, Atherstone North had never elected a Conservative councillor in the entirety of the borough council's existence, and would not do so until the following elections in 2015, which coincided with the North Warwickshire parliamentary constituency, which incorporates all of the North Warwickshire borough except for 2 wards (Arley & Whitacre and Hartshill), as well as five Nuneaton and Bedworth wards (Bede, Exhall, Heath, Poplar, and Slough) being held by the Conservatives with an increased majority at the general election on the same day.Local Election Results 2011 North Warwickshire https://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2011/349/ Local Elections Archive Project 29 November 2020England Council Elections - North Warwickshire https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/election2011/council/html/44ub.stm BBC News 29 November 2020Rallings Colin Thrasher Michael North Warwickshire Borough Council Elections 1973-2011 The Elections Centre 7 http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/North-Warwickshire-1973-2011.pdf 7 December 2020Rallings Colin Thrasher Michael Local Elections Handbook 2011 The Elections Centre 9780948858420 11, 180–181, 251, 256, 263 http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Local-Elections-Handbook-2011-complete.pdf 7 December 2020 Ward results Arley and Whitacre Ward (3 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Karen Barber 852 Conservative Party (UK) Pam Coton 730 Conservative Party (UK) Carol Fox 788 Independent (politician) Richard John Hancocks 252 Labour Party (UK) Sharon Jane Moss 770 Labour Party (UK) Harry Thomas George Taylor 770 Labour Party (UK) Nigel Ivor Turley 823 Atherstone Central Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Denise Sandra Clews Labour Party (UK) Lorna Elizabeth Dirveiks Labour Party (UK) Neil Adrian David Dirveiks Conservative Party (UK) Tony Wright Atherstone North Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Gill Davis Labour Party (UK) Anne Forwood Labour Party (UK) Derek Nicholas Alfred Pickard Conservative Party (UK) Martin George Shaw Atherstone South and Mancetter Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Martin Cyril Davis Conservative Party (UK) Lorraine Freer Labour Party (UK) Ray Jarvis Labour Party (UK) Ceri Short Baddesley and Grendon Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Margaret Anne Manley Labour Party (UK) John Sidney Moore Conservative Party (UK) Mel Smith Labour Party (UK) Ray Sweet Coleshill North Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Jeremy Bowden Labour Party (UK) Adam Joseph Farrell Labour Party (UK) Dominic Charles Ferro Conservative Party (UK) Peter John Fowler Coleshill South Ward (2 Councillors) Labour Party (UK) Christopher David Bain Labour Party (UK) Claire Breeze Conservative Party (UK) Gordon James Thomas Sherratt Conservative Party (UK) Andrew Watkins Curdworth Ward (2 Councillors) Labour Party (UK) Celia Banner Labour Party (UK) Mike Banner Conservative Party (UK) Joan Lea Conservative Party (UK) Mark Simpson Dordon Ward (2 Councillors) UK Independence Party Steve Fowler Conservative Party (UK) Dave Hanratty Conservative Party (UK) Sue Hanratty Labour Party (UK) Peter Frank Morson Labour Party (UK) John George Winter Fillongley Ward (2 Councillors) Labour Party (UK) Roger Ball Conservative Party (UK) Colin Charles Hayfield Labour Party (UK) Mary Phillips Conservative Party (UK) Leslie John Smith Hartshill Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Kath Johnston Labour Party (UK) Carmel Mary Morson Labour Party (UK) Kieren Luke Moss Conservative Party (UK) Tim Wykes Hurley and Wood End Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Richard Freer Labour Party (UK) Ann Lewis Independent (politician) Tony Moppett Labour Party (UK) Hayden Albert Phillips Conservative Party (UK) Howard Smith Independent (politician) Ian Frederick Thomas Kingsbury Ward (2 Councillors) Independent (politician) Carol Ann Ayasamy Independent (politician) Andrew Roy Jenns Conservative Party (UK) Dave Moffatt Labour Party (UK) Brian Peter Moss Labour Party (UK) Margaret Ceridwen Moss Conservative Party (UK) Stuart Swan Newton Regis and Warton Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) David John Humphreys Conservative Party (UK) Tilly May Labour Party (UK) Owen George Phillips Labour Party (UK) Eleanor Mary Pugh Polesworth East Ward (2 Councillors) Conservative Party (UK) Karen Marie Mercer-West Conservative Party (UK) Colin Walter Peat Labour Party (UK) Mick Stanley Labour Party (UK) Yvette Karen Stanley Polesworth West Ward (2 Councillors) Labour Party (UK) Dave Butcher Conservative Party (UK) Lee Clarke Conservative Party (UK) Wendy Christine Smitten Labour Party (UK) Alison Helen Stanley Water Orton Ward (2 Councillors) Labour Party (UK) Tom Foley Labour Party (UK) Dan Hodkinson Conservative Party (UK) Allan Francis Holland Conservative Party (UK) Ray Pyne References North Warwickshire 2011 Category:2010s in Warwickshire
