1907 Pembrokeshire County Council election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The seventh election to Pembrokeshire County Council was held in March 1907.[1] It was preceded by the 1904 election and followed by the 1910 election.

Overview of the result

[edit]

While there were a number of keenly contested wards a large number of wards were uncontested.[2] The Conservatives took control of the Council in a result described by the Pembrokeshire Herald as a defeat for the "radical caucus". Even so, the Liberals polled strongly in northern parts of the county.[3]

Boundary changes

There were no boundary changes at this election.
