# 2007 West Wiltshire District Council election

Elections to West Wiltshire District Council were held on 3 May 2007. The whole council was up for election and the Conservatives took control.
Most wards had boundary changes or were new. One ward, Shearwater, was uncontested.
Of the 44 new members, 21 were not members of the outgoing council.
The district councillors were elected on 3 May 2007 for a four-year term of office, but a review of local government determined in 2008 that the four district councils of Wiltshire should be merged with Wiltshire County Council to form a new unitary authority for Wiltshire with effect from 1 April 2009, when the district councillors' term of office would end. The county council was treated as a "continuing authority", and elections to the new Wiltshire Council unitary council took place in June 2009.
