Over the next few weeks I’m going to be publishing the Stockport Council election results from 1973 up to 2005.
Here’s the all-up elections from 1973 that founded Stockport Metropolitain Borough Council. For those of us involved in Stockport politics today there are some familiar names. Brian Leck, Colin Foster, Paul Porgess and Andy Verdeille are all councillors today. Ken Anstis is still active in the Lib Dems, as is Robert Littlehales.

Thanks Iain, like you I’m fascinated by historic election results.
I can spot a few more names of people who are still around.
I see it was closish in Cheadle & Gatley even back in those days.
Can’t wait for the good old days of 1979 😉
