In England a third of the seats on each of the metropolitan boroughs were elected along with elections in many of the unitary authorities and district councils. There were no local elections in Northern Ireland. The elections saw Labour, now in their second year of government, suffer a setback as the opposition Conservatives gained ground. The councils up for election had last been contested in 1995, which saw Labour achieve record gains and the Conservatives lose over 2,000 seats.
