The Leeds City Council election took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of City of Leeds Metropolitan Borough Council in West Yorkshire, England. Prior to the election, the Morley Borough Independent councillor for Morley North, Stewart McArdle, had defected to Independent and Weetwood incumbent, Brian Jennings, from Liberal Democrat to Independent. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition remained in power now with the support of the Morley Borough Independents.[1][2][3][4][5]
