 The Tories picked up five seats in total from Labour, and for the first time since 1951, won their second seat in the wards of Kirkstall, Stanningley and Westfield, and gained full representation in Bramley and Wortley.With those gains the Conservatives now had a narrow lead in councillors, with only Labour's superior aldermen totals stopping the Tories from gaining the council and adding it to the list of momentous victories that night.Elsewhere the Liberals seen yet another fall in their vote, returning their third place to contention as the Communists continued inching upwards, comfortably achieving their greatest vote.
