Local Election Results 2008
Powys
One Conservative councillor, three Labour councillors, three Liberal Democrat councillors and twenty-four Independent councillors were elected unopposed.
Note:— There were boundary changes affecting the far north of the county, which united the whole of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant in the Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant/Llansilin division. The old Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant division (which had taken out of it the half of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant which was originally in Montgomeryshire rather than Denbighshire) was renamed Llanwddyn.
