The first elections to Stockport Council were held on Thursday, 10 May 1973.[2] This was a new council created to replace Stockport County Borough, Bredbury and Romiley Urban District, Cheadle and Gatley Urban District , Hazel Grove and Bramhall Urban District, and Marple Urban District. This election would create the entire 60-member council, which would shadow its predecessor councils before taking over their functions on 1 April 1974, as specified in the Local Government Act 1972. Each 1st-placed candidate would serve a five-year term of office, expiring in 1978. Each 2nd-placed candidate would serve a three-year term of office, expiring in 1976. Each 3rd-placed candidate would serve a two-year term of office, expiring in 1975.
The council went into no overall control.
