Line 1:

Elections to [[North Lanarkshire|North Lanarkshire Council]] were held on the [[May 3]] [[2007]] the same day as the other [[Local government in Scotland|Scottish local government]] [[Scottish local elections, 2007|elections]] and the [[Scottish Parliament]] [[Scottish Parliament election, 2007|general election]]. The election was the first one using 20 new [[ward (politics)|wards]] created as a results of the [[Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004]]<ref>http://www.northlan.gov.uk/living+here/elections+and+voting/election+information/election+of+councillors.html</ref>, each ward will elect three or four councillors using the [[single transferable vote]] system a form of [[proportional representation]]. The new wards replace 70 single-member wards which used the [[plurality]] ([[first past the post]]) system of election.

Labour managed to retain control of the council, something which the party failed to do in many other parts of Scotland. Overall they lost 14 seats, most of which went to the [[Scottish National Party]], although the individual seats won by the [[Scottish Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] and the [[Scottish Liberal Democrats]] are noteworthy in that these parties have never been represented on [[North Lanarkshire Council]] before.
