1964 Cardiganshire County Council election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twenty-second election to Cardiganshire County Council took place in April 1961. It was preceded by the 1961 election and followed by the 1967 election.
After a record low of four contests in 1961 a significantly higher number of seats were contested, with Plaid Cymru candidates contesting wards in Aberystwyth for the first time.[1] Retiring councillors stood down in favour of aldermen in several wards.
Outcome
Four retiring members were defeated with the only surprise in Lampeter where the Rev T. Oswald Williams was defeated by Dr Ambrose Lloyd[2]
