Majority party Majority party after election Labour Labour Elections to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council were held on 6 May 1982, with one third of the council up for election with an additional vacancy in Royston. Prior to the election, Labour had gained a seat from Residents in a Dodsworth by-election, with another Residents councillor in Wombwell North defecting to the Labour grouping, offsetting a by-election loss in Penistone East to the recently formed SDP-Liberal Alliance. Alliance had also seen defections to them from the Independent Labour councillor in Hoyland East and the defending (formerly Residents) councillor in Darton. http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Barnsley-1973-2012.pdf Elections Centre: Barnsley 1973-2012 electionscentre.co.uk/plymouth.ac.uk 2017-07-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20170725171829/http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Barnsley-1973-2012.pdf 2017-07-25 https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/media/4121/electionresults1979to2003.pdf Election results 1979 to 2003 barnsley.gov.uk 2017-07-28 https://web.archive.org/web/20170728185506/https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/media/4121/electionresults1979to2003.pdf 2017-07-28 Election result Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council Election Result 1982 Labour Party (UK) 19 6 0 +6 82.6 55.2 33,610 -3.8 SDP-Liberal Alliance 2 1 1 0 8.7 27.5 16,738 +24.9 Conservative Party (UK) 1 0 1 -1 4.3 8.9 5,392 +2.8 Residents Association 1 0 3 -3 4.3 6.5 3,941 -25.1 Independent Labour 0 0 2 -2 0.0 2.1 1,247 +1.6 This resulted in the following composition of the council: PartyPrevious councilNew council Labour 47 53 Residents 10 7 SDP–Liberal Alliance 4 4 Conservatives 3 2 Independent Labour 2 0 Total 66 66 Working majority #FFBF00 28 darkgray #FFBF00 40 darkgray Ward results +/- figures represent changes from the last time these wards were contested.
