Background

These elections were the first to the newly formed borough. Previously elections had taken place in the Municipal Borough of Edmonton, Municipal Borough of Enfield and Municipal Borough of Southgate. These boroughs were joined to form the new London Borough of Enfield by the London Government Act 1963.

A total of 189 candidates stood in the election for the 60 seats being contested across 30 wards. These included a full slate from the Conservative and Labour parties, while the Liberals stood 52 candidates. Other candidates included 14 Independents, 2 Residents and 1 Communist. All wards were two-seat wards.

This election had aldermen as well as directly elected councillors. Labour got all 10 aldermen.

The Council was elected in 1964 as a "shadow authority" but did not start operations until 1 April 1965.

Election result

The results saw Labour gain the new council with a majority of 2 after winning 31 of the 60 seats. Overall turnout in the election was 41.4%. This turnout included 976 postal votes.
