This meant the Conservatives had been guaranteed a majority even before voting, as 18 of their candidates were unopposed and another 4 were in multi-seat wards where there were not enough candidates from other parties.http://www.wisbechstandard.co.uk/news/conservatives_capture_39_of_the_40_seats_1_359898 Conservatives capture 39 of the 40 seats Elworthy John Jackson, Tom 4 May 2007 Wisbech Standard 14 September 2011 Labour lost the 3 seats they had been defending, 2 in Waterlees ward in Wisbech and 1 in March East. What was remarkable, however, about the results was areas such as Waterlees ward, traditionally, had been part of larger wards (until the 2003 boundary changes) that were opposition strongholds. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats failed to win any seats, but did come within 37 votes in Slade Lode ward in Chatteris. The only non-Conservative elected was independent Mark Archer, who gained Manea from Conservative Robert Sears by almost 200 votes,http://www.fenlandcitizen.co.uk/news/local/will_there_be_a_role_for_independent_1_443033 Will there by a role for independent? 14 May 2007 Fenland Citizen 13 September 2011August 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes in a seat which Sears had won in a by-election in 2006.
