 | | Crawley (3 Con gains to control) is perhaps the easiest target for the Conservatives as in 2005 the parliamentary constituency (that matches almost exactly the council area) recorded a 8.5% swing to the Conservatives leaving Laura Moffatt the MP by only 37 votes. |
 | | For the Conservatives to have an indication of a possible change in government in 2009/2010 they would need to win councils such as Nuneaton and Bedworth (7 gains), Plymouth (10 gains), and Wolverhampton (15 gains). |
 | | It was expected that Labour might end up losing councils rather than gaining them, but following the recent ructions in the Liberal Democrats over the resignation of Charles Kennedy as leader, people are now suggesting that there could be some major gains for Labour from the Lib Dems. |
