At the same time, all town and parish council contested elections took place, most notably including Shrewsbury Town Council.https://shropshire.gov.uk/website-information/support-dropped-for-outdated-links/ Support dropped for outdated links | Shropshire Council shropshire.gov.uk The Conservative party retained control of the council, though with a slightly reduced majority, with 3 fewer seats compared to just prior to the election. All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on Thursday 2 May 2013 were entitled to vote in the local elections. Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections.http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/1694/schedule/made The Representation of the People (Form of Canvass) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006, Schedule Part 1 Legislation.gov.uk 13 October 2011 18 April 2012 Previous council Shropshire Council was Conservative controlled prior to the 2013 election, with 51 Conservative councillors immediately before the election. The Conservatives won 54 seats at the 2009 election, but lost three of these in by-elections during the term. The Liberal Democrats won 11 seats at the 2009 election, but increased their numbers to 14 during the term, gaining at the by-elections from the Conservatives. Labour had 7 seats, Independent Community and Health Concern one seat, and a final seat was held by an independent. Changes to divisions There were no changes to division boundaries or seat allocations since 2009, but two divisions changed their names: 'Minsterley' to 'Rea Valley', and 'Selattyn and Gobowen' to 'Gobowen, Selattyn and Western Rhyn'. Uncontested elections In six electoral divisions the number of candidates nominated equalled the number of councillors to be elected, so these seats were uncontested. They were Corvedale, Shawbury, St Oswald, The Meres, Whitchurch North (two members), and Whitchurch South. The seven candidates elected unopposed were all Conservatives.https://archive.today/20130505134216/http://new.shropshire.gov.uk/elections/2013/notices-of-uncontested-election-unitary-elections/
