The Wardman Wire

I was looking for a map of which parties control the different local authorities in Wales, and (astonishingly) I could not find one.

So I rolled my own (using an outline map from Wikipedia).

This is based on the 2004 Local Election results from the BBC. I have followed the obvious colours used by the BBC, except that No Overall Control is White. Grey is an Independent majority.

I’m planning to make this a resource post, and and several different versions - for example with a key to the names of Local Authorities. I will be doing a Welsh version. So it is a good place to link to (hint!). Linkbait ? You bet.

Here is the JPEG version (40k):

And the GIF version (13k):

I would welcome any comments for changes since 2004 that I have missed.
