The 1973 Lincoln City council make up was 10 wards with 3 councillors being elected in each ward. Obviously voters had three votes!
The political force at the time were disciples of former Labour MP Dick Taverne who had resigned from the party due to his conflicting views over Europe with the local Labour Party.
Taverne formed the Lincoln Democratic Labour Party.
