While all three League candidates failed to unseat any of the existing councillors, the counts in both North and South Ward were very close; these being majorities of 15 and 34 respectively. | While all three League candidates initially seemed to have failed to unseat any of the existing councillors, the counts in both North and South Ward were very close; these being majorities of 15 and 34 respectively. After a recount on 12 September, the result in North Ward was changed in favour of Latham who was declared elected with a majority of 20 votes. In South Ward, Willison extended his lead over Williams from 34 to 40 and retained his seat. This left three out of nine councillors opposed to the rating changes.<ref>The Argus.
