The incumbent minority Labour administration gained eight seats from the Conservatives, returning the council to majority control.[3]
Background
In May 2013, four Conservative councillors had defected to the UK Independence Party, including Suzanne Evans, who later became a national spokesperson for the party.[4] No by-elections were called as a result of the defections. In the election, all those who sought re-election as UKIP councillors were defeated, including Evans in the Hillside ward.[1][5]
Results
Labour gained seats from the Conservatives in the wards of Abbey, Cannon Hill and St. Helier; this returned the council to majority Labour control from no overall control. Labour won 36 seats (+8) and the Conservatives 20 seats (-7). The Liberal Democrats lost one seat in West Barnes to the Conservatives to finish with just 1 seat, whilst the Merton Park Ward Residents Association maintained its three seats in Merton Park.[1][2]
