This was on the same day as other local elections. Boundary changes came into effect at this election with a new pattern of electoral divisions being used. The number of seats on the council was increased from 72 to 77. At the election, the Conservatives retained control of the council, albeit with a significantly reduced majority. Labour made a major recovery, regaining many of the seats lost previously to the Conservatives in the urban areas of the county. The Liberals regained representation on the council after losing all their seats at the previous election.
