Background

In five out of the six by-elections since the previous Council was elected, the previous party had retained the seat.

The Labour Party won 28 seats - a loss of 12 seats from the 1986 election, but maintained control. The Conservative Party won 22 seats - a gain of 13 seats from their previous result. The Liberal Democrats lost their only seat on the council.
