This election had aldermen as well as directly elected councillors. The Conservatives got 8 aldermen and Labour 2.

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

Election result

The results saw the Conservatives gain the new council with a majority of 30 after winning 45 of the 60 seats. Overall turnout in the election was 39.5%. This turnout included 1,023 postal votes.
