Sedgemoor District Council is controlled by the Conservatives with a massive majority of 37 Conservative to 10 Labour and 3 LibDem. Labour Group leader Cllr Kathy Pearce says "We aim to break Tory control of Sedgemoor and end the years of one party domination . Labour will be standing in 34 seats around Sedgemoor and we hope to make gains at the expense of the Conservatives and especially their LibDem coalition allies who have clearly lost the trust of the people who voted for them. We expect a LibDem collapse Nationally and Locally . Labour needs to win in 25 seats to gain control of Sedgemoor. "
