Elections to Hyndburn Borough Council were held on 6 May 2010. One third of the council was up for election. Since there was also the General Election being held on the same day, overall voter turnout was much higher than usual, for such local elections.

Background[edit]

Before the election Conservatives had a majority of 21 councillors, Labour had 13 councillors, while Independent (politician) had 1 councillor.

Conservative candidates contested every ward, Labour candidates contested all wards except Overton-ward. Independents contested seven-wards, not including their one-existing uncontested-seat. LibDem's only single candidate contested in the Spring Hill-ward. BNP's only single candidate contested in the Clayton-le-Moors-ward.
