Elections for Hammersmith and Fulham Council in London were held on 6 May 2010. The 2010 United Kingdom General Election and other local elections took place on the same day.
In London council elections the entire council is elected every four years, as opposed to some local elections where one councillor is elected every year in three of the four years.
After taking control four years previously at the last election, the Conservative Party maintained control - with just two seats changing hands.
The borough is divided into 16 electoral wards, all bar two electing three councillors apiece.[3] [4]
