This meant Labour only won 1 seat in Borehamwood Cowley Hill, where they held on by an 86-vote majority. The Labour group leader Leon Reefe said the reason for the defeats for the party was that "Labour voters are still disenchanted with what's going on nationally", while the Conservative council leader said "obviously national events had a bearing but I still feel that locally we are providing good services". 2006 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/rp2006/rp06-026.pdf Local elections 2006 10 May 2006 House of Commons Library 23 October 2011http://www.hertsmere.gov.uk/councildemocracy/democracyelections/electionresults_2/electionresults2006.jsp Election results - 2006 Hertsmere Borough Council 23 October 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110614023208/http://www.hertsmere.gov.uk/councildemocracy/democracyelections/electionresults_2/electionresults2006.jsp 14 June 2011 Conservative Party (UK) 11 3 78.6 17 28 71.8 12,320 57.6 +3.7 Liberal Democrats (UK) 2 1 14.3 4 6 15.4 4,813 21.3 –0.9 Labour Party (UK) 1 2 7.1 4 5 12.8 4,122 18.1 –5.1 Green Party of England and Wales 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 289 1.2 N/A Veritas (political party) 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 234 1.0 N/A Socialist Party (England and Wales) 0 0.0 0 0 0.0 187 0.8 N/A Ward results Incumbent councillors standing for re-election are marked with an asterisk (*).
