Boundary changes There were no boundary changes but the balance of representation in the Penarth wards appears to have changed with the North/Central ward gaining a seat and the West ward losing one. Candidates Conservative and Labour candidates contested the vast majority of seats. In contrast with four years previously there were more Liberal candidates together with a smaller number of Plaid Cymru candidates and Independents. Outcome When the authority was established the Conservatives had hoped to win control but failed to do so in 1973. However, they won control at this election, with sweeping gains across Cardiff and the Vale, including some seats which the party had not fully contested at the previous election. Defeated candidates included the leader of the council, Jack Leonard.June 2019 Ward results Adamsdown (two seats) Adamsdown 1977 Labour Party (UK) D.
