1973 Manchester City Council election
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The first elections to the new Manchester City Council were held on Thursday, 10 May 1973. The election created the entire 99-member council (three councillors to each ward), which shadowed its predecessor corporation before taking over its functions on 1 April 1974, as specified in the Local Government Act 1972. Each 1st-placed candidate was appointed to a five-year term of office, expiring in 1978. Each 2nd-placed candidate had a three-year term of office, expiring in 1976. Each 3rd-placed candidate served a two-year term of office, expiring in 1975.
The Labour Party gained overall control of the council.[1]
