Stockport’s local election results from 1980, in my ongoing publication of the results from 1973 up to 2004.

Among the familiar names, Maureen Rowles was elected in Brinnington (Maureen’s back on the council this year after a two-year gap) and Paul Porgess won in Cheadle Hulme North.

Another very poor year for the Liberals too, winning just one seat.
