Dorset County Council election, 2009

Map of the results of the 2009 Dorset council election. Conservatives in blue, Liberal Democrats in yellow and independent in grey.
Elections to Dorset County Council took place on 4 June 2009.[1] The vote was delayed from 7 May, in order to coincide with elections to the European Parliament. A key issue in the election was an Audit Commission report on social care which reported a decline in standards since 2006, however the Conservative party responded that their administration was the best performing county council in England.[2] There were fears however that voter turnout would be a record low.[3]
