The election saw the Conservatives nearly wiped out of the council entirely, with them only holding onto one seat in Woodfield.[4][5] All of their other seats went to the Labour Party. The Liberal Democrats held on to all their seats, becoming the official opposition in Stevenage.[6] No other party made any notable impact or gains in the results.
Woodfield ward saw the rare outcome where two candidates drew on the number of received votes. Labour candidate Robert Boyle and incumbent Conservative councillor Margaret Notley both received 571 votes and had to draw lots to determine who won, with Robert winning.[7]
