1981 West Yorkshire County Council election

The final elections to West Yorkshire County Council were held in May 1981. Labour regained majority control, which they held from 1973 to 1977, after four years of majority Conservative control. The elections which should have been held in 1985 were not held (in common with the other Metropolitan Counties and the Greater London Council) as the Act to abolish Metropolitan Counties had by then been passed. The term of the existing council and councillors was extended to 1 April 1986, to complete the job of passing the functions of the Council to the successor authorities.
