Other Conservative gains came in Clanfield and Finchdean, Horndean Kings, Horndean Murray and Petersfield Causeway. This left the Liberal Democrats with just 5 councillors, all in the Whitehill and Bordon area. The Conservatives leader of the council Patrick Burridge described the results as "beyond my wildest dreams". Meanwhile, the new Liberal Democrat leader on the council Adam Carew put their defeats down to high Conservative turnout in the Alternative Vote referendum which was held at the same time as the council election and that the "low popularity rating" of the national Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg "had a negative effect".
