The Labour Party won 58 seats - a gain of 52 seats from the previous election, taking control of the council. The Conservative Party won 2 seats (the Avonmore ward) - a loss of 52 seats from their previous result, and lost control of the council.

The Liberal Party stood candidates in three wards, and a single candidate stood for the Communist Party, but none of these won a seat.[1][2]
