Labour gained five seats (Cheylesmore, Foleshill, Sherbourne, Whoberley, Wyken) from the Conservatives and one seat (St Michael's) from the Socialist Party. As a result, Labour gained control of the council, with 30 out of 54 seats.
A general election was held on the same day, which accounts for the higher turnout.
