Well into the Blair era and the results in Stockport are taking on a feel that won’t change a great deal in the following decade.

1999 was the year the Lib Dems first gained overall control of Stockport Council.

It was under no overall control to 1975, then Conservative run to 1983, then no overall control again to 1999.  The first Lib Dem administration only lasted a year – the council slipped back to no overall control in 2000.  We regained our overall majority in 2002 and have hold it ever since.
