The 1958 Leeds municipal elections were held on Thursday 10 April 1958, with one third of the seats and a double vacancy in Bramley to be elected.[1]
Labour achieved a further swing of 0.3%,[2] to take two more seats from the Conservatives. The two gains were in Westfield - where the incumbents 7.5% swing was not enough to hold on - and Wortley, with Labour narrowly gaining on a 78-vote majority as the main beneficiaries of the Liberal absence this time around.[1] As well as those two gains, Labour gained one in the new aldermen division, increasing their majority on the council to 34.[2] A notable feat of the election was the Liberals managing to push the Conservatives into third in the two wards of Holbeck and Middleton - a post-war first.[1] Turnout rose by a percentage point on the previous year, to 37.2%.[2]
