The 1982 Barking and Dagenham Borough Council election took place on 6 May 1982 to elect members of Barking and Dagenham London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour Party stayed in overall control of the council.[1]
Background edit
124 candidates nominated in total. Labour again ran a full slate and was the only party to do so. By contrast the Conservative Party ran only 34 candidates and the SDP-Liberal Alliance 22.
Election result edit
Labour continued to win a large majority of seats - 37 out of 48. The Conservatives and the Residents Association each held their three seats. The SDP–Liberal Alliance won three seats and two Independents were also elected. Thus the new council included four parties for the first time since its formation in 1964.
