Council elections

Between 1973 and 1980, there were 69 councillors; three seats for each of the 23 wards. Following ward boundary changes for the 1980 election, the number of wards was reduced to 20 and all 60 seats were contested.[3] Further boundary changes were made for the 2004 election and again all council seats were contested.[4]
