This election was during the time the far left trotskyist entryist group within the Labour Party called the Millitant Tendency had significant influence on the council, they had 16 out of the 58 councilors on the council.
Under millitant's influence the council built thousands of counil houses, created thousands of jobs. They fought the conservative government then led by Margret Thatcher and mobilised workers, working class people and community campaigners against the government and won a victory achiving funding for the council.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
| Party | Seats | ± | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Labour | 58 | +7 | |
| Liberal | 28 | -2 | |
