Kennet District Council election, 2007

Elections to Kennet District Council were held on 3 May 2007. The whole council was up for election, and the Conservatives comfortably retained control, winning thirty-one of the forty seats available.[1]

This was the last election of district councillors to take place in Kennet. The following year, a government review of local government determined that the four district councils of Wiltshire were to be merged with Wiltshire County Council to form a new unitary authority with effect from 1 April 2009, when Kennet would be abolished and its councillors' term of office would end two years early.

Elections to the new unitary authority, Wiltshire Council, took place in June 2009.
