The entire council was up for election, following changes to the city borders, which extended into parts of Derbyshire, and extensive boundary changes and reorganisation of the wards. The wards Cathedral, Crookesmoor, Moor, Norton, Tinsley and Woodseats were abolished, with the new wards of Beauchief, Castle, Dore, Gleadless, Intake and Netherthorpe created. These, along with the inclusion of the Birley and Mosborough wards from neighbouring areas, brought the councillor total to 81 - up six from previous. The election itself seen a historic night for the Conservatives, as they followed the national pattern of inflicting heavy losses onto the ruling Labour Party, coming as close to one seat away from seeing Labour lose their 33-strong majority with which they went into the election with. In Mosborough an Independent was elected on a platform of opposition to the takeover of the ward by Sheffield, whilst his counterpart in Birley finished last, but with a respectable 21%. Overall turnout was a concern in this election, following the downward trend in turnout, resulting in the previous year's record low turnout of 22%. Hopes that this 'mini-election' - as it was dubbed - being the opportunity to decide on the council's control might draw a greater turnout than recent years, were fulfilled as turnout improved dramatically to 33.4%, the highest since 1961. https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B1BWkO-jL09UOWZlMjEyM2UtMTkxNy00M2FkLWE3MjAtNTViNzI2MjBhYmY4&hl=en_US Sheffield Local Elections 1960–1995 scans 2011-12-02 Election result Sheffield local election result 1967 Labour Party (UK) 41 0 0 0 50.6 38.2 55,472 Conservative Party (UK) 39 0 0 0 48.1 50.4 73,276 Independent (politician) 1 0 0 0 1.2 1.9 1,542 Communist Party of Great Britain 0 0 0 0 0.0 4.4 6,416 Liberal Party (UK) 0 0 0 0 0.0 4.2 6,097 National Front (UK) 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.8 1,239 The result had the following consequences for the total number of seats on the Council after the elections: PartyPrevious councilNew councilCllrAldCllrAld Labour 54 18 41 18 Conservatives 21 7 39 9 Independent 0 0 1 0 Communists 0 0 0 0 Liberals 0 0 0 0 National Front 0 0 0 0 Total 75 25 81 27 100 108 Working majority #FFBF00 33 darkgray #FFBF00 11 darkgray #FFBF00 1 darkgray #FFBF00 9 darkgray#FFBF00 44 darkgray#FFBF00 10 darkgray Ward results Attercliffe Labour Party (UK) William Robins 2,744 71.1 N/A Labour Party (UK) Norman Eldred 2,644 Labour Party (UK) Harry Firth 2,585 Conservative Party (UK) Eric Straw 1,115 28.9 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Eric Turner 1,080 Conservative Party (UK) Joan Willows 1,073 1,629 42.2 N/A 3,859 22.8 N/A Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Beauchief Conservative Party (UK) Frank Adams 6,182 71.5 N/A Conservative Party (UK) George Beardshaw 6,178 Conservative Party (UK) Thomas Crewe 6,109 Labour Party (UK) Kenneth Morgan 2,463 28.5 N/A 3,719 43.0 N/A 8,645 49.7 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Birley Labour Party (UK) Elsie Richardson 2,325 40.5 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Pauline Minns 2,197 38.3 N/A Labour Party (UK) Leonard Stones 2,196 Labour Party (UK) George Fisher 2,181 Conservative Party (UK) Myrtle Jackson 2,167 Independent (politician) Laurence Gillatt 1,211 21.1 N/A 29 2.2 N/A 5,733 29.3 N/A Labour Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Brightside Labour Party (UK) Arthur Longmore 2,019 51.4 N/A Labour Party (UK) Henry Sturrock 1,990 Labour Party (UK) George Wilson 1,573 Conservative Party (UK) Jennifer Levick 1,157 29.5 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Charles Hughes 1,077 Conservative Party (UK) Rhonda Beard 1,072 National Front (UK) Robert Taylor 387 9.8 N/A Communist Party of Great Britain Arthur Tingle 362 9.2 N/A National Front (UK) George Clark 316 416 20.3 N/A 3,925 25.6 N/A Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Broomhill Conservative Party (UK) Peter Jackson 4,189 77.2 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Raymond Hadfield 4,175 Conservative Party (UK) Jack Peile 4,080 Labour Party (UK) Frances Gathercole 1,238 22.8 N/A 2,842 54.4 N/A 5,427 33.9 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Burngreave Labour Party (UK) Reggie Ellis 1,876 46.2 N/A Labour Party (UK) John Pate 1,859 Conservative Party (UK) Jack Osborne 1,812 44.6 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Heather McKenzie 1,808 Conservative Party (UK) Pamela Bishop 1,740 Labour Party (UK) Harry Hall 1,726 Communist Party of Great Britain Jim Ashurst 373 9.2 N/A 51 1.6 N/A 4,061 27.6 N/A Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Castle Labour Party (UK) Reg Munn 1,757 51.3 N/A Labour Party (UK) Peter Horton 1,703 Labour Party (UK) Roy Munn 1,673 Conservative Party (UK) Stanley Butler 1,235 36.1 N/A Conservative Party (UK) Simon Newall 1,180 Conservative Party (UK) Edwin Stephenson 1,124 Communist Party of Great Britain Edna Ashworth 430 12.5 N/A 438 15.2 N/A 3,422 26.4 N/A Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Labour Party (UK) Darnall Labour Party (UK) Frederick Hattersley 2,426 55.7 N/A Labour Party (UK) William Owen 2,377 Labour Party (UK) Arnold Wood 2,355 Conservative Party (UK) T.
