The incumbent Mayor, John Kennedy-Good, stood for a fifth term and was re-elected alongside a nearly all-United Citizens council.[1] This included ex-Labour councillor Lawrie Woodley who had defected to the United Citizens mid-term and was rewarded after the 1980 election by Kennedy-Good with a committee chairman position.[2]
