Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats lost half their seats to fall to have just 4 councillors, but were left with the balance of power. The Conservatives gained marginal seats in Basildon from Labour including Laindon, Langdon Hills and Pitsea East. They also took all the seats the Liberal Democrats had been defending in Billericay and Wickford. Following the election, the Liberal Democrat leader Geoff Williams said "issues will be decided on their merit and not on party politics". 2000 Basildon local election resultElection results: local councils 6 May 2000 The Times 10 Conservative Party (UK) 8 6 0 6 53.3 52.8 16,705 22.5 Labour Party (UK) 6 0 3 3 40.0 29.5 9,333 16.4 Liberal Democrats (UK) 1 0 3 3 6.7 16.2 5,120 6.7 Independent (politician) 0 0 0 0.0 1.4 447 New Socialist Party (England and Wales) 0 0 0 0.0 0.1 37 New All comparisons in vote share are to the corresponding 1996 election.
