1973 Bracknell District Council election
The 1973 Bracknell District Council election was the first election to the newly formed Bracknell District Council in England, taking place on 7 June 1973 alongside other local elections as part of the 1973 United Kingdom local elections. Its predecessor council was Easthampstead Rural District. For the first time at a local level, the Labour Party gained control. The party benefitted from a reapportionment of seats for Bracknell town - at Easthampstead Rural District's last election in 1971, 21 of the 44 councillors represented Bracknell wards, but this now changed to 17 of 31. With just 29% of the seats, it remained the worst performance for the Conservatives in a Bracknell District or Bracknell Forest election until 2023. Summary
