Elections for the London Borough of Merton were held on 4 May 2006. This was on the same day as other local elections in England.[2]

The Conservatives became the largest party in Merton, forming a minority administration. The incumbent Labour majority administration was defeated.

Results[edit]

The Conservatives gained five seats, becoming the largest party in Merton and defeating the incumbent majority Labour administration. However, the Conservatives fell one seat short of a majority, so they established a minority administration under no overall control.

The Merton Park Ward Residents' Association maintained its three councillors in Merton Park.

In terms of seat changes, the Conservatives gained three councillors from Labour in Abbey and one each from Labour in the wards of Dundonald and Trinity.[2]
