Local Politics

The Queens Park ward is represented by three councillors on Bournemouth Borough Council. The 2003 elections returned three Liberal Democrat councillors. The political representation was dramatically changed in 2007 when two of the seats were won by Conservatives.

Conservative councillor Alexander Adams subsequently resigned, prompting a by-election on 1 May 2008.

Cheryl Johnson held the seat for the Conservatives. Here are the results:
