The election was held on the same day as both the 1979 United Kingdom general election and other local elections as part of the 1979 United Kingdom local elections. Due to a boundary review there had been a change in ward boundaries, along with an increase in size from 31 members elected in 1976. Despite losing government nationally, the Labour Party made up ground in Bracknell District from its landslide defeat in 1976. Although the Conservative Party ended up with the same number of seats as 1976, the increased size of the council saw its majority reduced. The Liberal Party lost its lone seat. https://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Bracknell-Forest-1973-1995.pdf Bracknell Forest Borough Council Election Results 1973-1995 28 December 2022 Elections Centre This would be the last time a candidate outside the three main parties would win at an all-out election.
