Labour contested all of the industrial area wards and won the majority of them. No nominations were initially received for the Heolddu ward. Outcome A similar pattern to recent elections was observed at the election, with Labour candidates contesting the urban wards but Independents being returned for the rural areas. The only change was in the Betws ward where Labour lost a seat to an Independent candidate. In Llandeilo South Ward, Thomas Morris lost his seat after over twenty years.
