# 1973 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election

The first elections to Stockport Council were held on Thursday, 10 May 1973. 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.
