CALDERDALE VOTES
40 years of local democracy
Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council was ‘born’ on 1st April 1974 by amalgamating the county borough of Halifax, the boroughs of Brighouse & Todmorden, the urban districts of Elland, Hebden Royd, Ripponden, Sowerby Bridge & part of Queensbury and Shelf and the rural district of Hepton. The first elections to the council were held on Thursday 10th May 1973 (the shadow authority) and to celebrate 40 years of local democracy this statistical digest has been compiled.
Notes
Results – given by year, votes and percentage share (for the highest polling candidates in multiple contests). Female candidates are designated by the title ‘Ms’ for simplicity. Turnout figures not provided for individual wards because of too many discrepancies. Despite my very best efforts a name may have been misspelt and I apologise if this is the case. The results have been sourced from local newspapers and libraries. A * before a candidate’s name highlights that they are an incumbent councillor for the ward. A + before a candidate’s name highlights that they are an incumbent councillor but have chosen to seek re-election in another ward. No incumbents in 1973 because inaugural election or 2004 ‘all out’ election because of boundary changes.
By-Elections – I have noted the retiring councillor (either resignation, death or extended absence).
Cycle of Election – Each column should be read downwards. Normally each councillor serves a four year term but it is possible for an incumbent councillor to move to a different cycle e.g. when they seek re-election and are placed 2nd in a double vacancy. In 1973 the top three candidates were elected in each ward. The highest polling serving until 1978, the second highest polling until 1976 and the third highest polling until 1975. In 2004 the top three candidates were elected in each ward. The highest polling serving until 2008, the second highest polling until 2007 and the third highest polling until 2006. If a councillors switches allegiances this is noted in brackets.
Table of Majorities – Majority is the guidepost in our plurality electoral system and I have ordered the majorities by year in vote (not percentage) order. The second place party is given in brackets except for CON/LAB and Lab/CON battles. In 1973 and 2004 when ‘all out’ elections were held I have listed the margin between the 3rd and 4th placed candidates. This may occasionally provide an anomalous result when both candidates share the same party colours so please treat with caution.
Summaries –including wards changing hands, new council composition, party vote share plus overall turnout percentage.
WYMCC – the results for the Calderdale divisions to the West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council.

* Some notes of caution – turnout was boosted in 1979 and 2010 because the local polls coincided with a General Election. 2004 was a postal ballot election, which may have had an effect on the number voting. In 2011 the ‘AV Referendum’ was held on the same day as the local elections and this may have increased turnout.
Full turnout figures are not available for the 1973 ‘all out’ election and the figure provided is therefore an estimate. There are unfortunately discrepancies for other years so turnout rounded to the nearest whole number.
The % share may not be a true reflection of a party’s true standing across the borough because of the number of candidates contesting wards and the possible splits in party support when ‘dissident’ candidates entered the fray. For the 1973 & 2004 ‘all out’ elections the highest polling candidate’s vote is used in the calculation.

* To register as a gain the newly elected councillor must hold a different description to the incumbent or the previous councillor if the seat is vacant. Obviously some gains will be ‘paper’ and therefore have no correlation to when the seat was last contested e.g. changes of allegiance, by-elections.
* No ward changes in 2004 because ‘all out’ election.
* Double vacancy – two seats up for election but only one changes hands. * 2 seats – two seats up for election and both change hands.

Boundaries
1973
These wards were constructed from the original local authorities that were combined to form Calderdale. The wards were meant to be temporary and the electorates had a wide disparity.
Ward 1 – Illingworth (the Illingworth ward from Halifax County Borough), Ward 2 – Mixenden (Mixenden from Halifax CB) Ward 3 – Town (Akroydon, Southowram and Town wards from Halifax CB), Ward 4 – Ovenden (Lee Mount and Ovenden wards from Halifax CB) Ward 5 – Warley (Kingston and Warley wards from Halifax CB) Ward 6 – Skircoat (Calder and Skircoat wards from Halifax CB) Ward 7 – St. John’s (Park, Pellon and St. John’s wards from Halifax CB) Ward 8 – Northowram and Shelf (Northowram ward from Halifax CB plus Shelf East and Shelf West wards from Queensbury & Shelf UDC) Ward 9 – Rastrick (Longroyde and Woodhouse wards from Brighouse MB) Ward 10 - Brighouse (Central, Clifton and Hove Edge From Brighouse MB) Ward 11 - Lightcliffe (Hipperholme, Lightcliffe and Southowram from Brighouse MB) Ward 12 – Todmorden (the Todmorden MB) Ward 13 – Elland (Central, East, North, South and West wards from Elland UDC) Ward 14 – Greetland and Stainland (Greetland, Holywell Green, Stainland and West Vale wards from Elland) Ward 15 – Hebden Bridge (Hebden Royd UDC plus Hepton RDC), Ward 16 - Ryburn (Ripponden UDC plus Norland, South and Sowerby wards from Sowerby Bridge UDC) Ward 17 – Sowerby North (Central, East, Luddendenfoot, Midgley and North wards from Sowerby Bridge UDC)
1980
Calder Valley was the newly created ward so an ‘all out’ election for three seats. All the other councillors were assigned to a new ward, which had the strongest link to the former ward. Some chose to contest other wards when their seats were due for re- election.
Todmorden – based upon Todmorden Luddendenfoot – based upon Hebden Bridge Sowerby Bridge – based upon Sowerby North Ryburn – based upon Ryburn Greetland & Stainland – based upon Greetland & Stainland Elland – based upon Elland Rastrick – based upon Rastrick Brighouse – based upon Brighouse Hipperholme & Lightcliffe – based upon Lightcliffe Northowram & Shelf – based upon Northowram & Shelf Town – based upon Town St. John’s – based upon St. John’s Skircoat – based upon Skircoat Warley – based upon Warley Mixenden – based upon Mixenden Ovenden – based upon Ovenden Illingworth – based upon Illingworth
2004
The number of wards was reduced by one to 17. A whole council election was held to fill all 51 vacancies. Mixenden was abolished and amalgamated (in part) with Illingworth. The new Park ward was based (partially) upon the old St. John’s ward. All other wards, some altered more than others, were based upon the old wards with the same name. Calder Valley was renamed Calder.
