Elections were held to Lancashire County Council as part of the wider 1981 United Kingdom local elections and under new division boundaries. [1] Any multi-member wards were abolished and each of 99 wards returned one councillor in this election. The election saw a significant Labour recovery from the previous, along with a Conservative fall, leading Labour to gain control of the council for the first time in its history.
