Sixteen seats were uncontested and, in another seat, Yscir, no one initially stood at all for the seat (the only ward in Wales where this happened). Nine Independent seats, out of the thirty won, were due to only one candidate standing for election. Five of the seven Labour seats and one each of the Conservative and Liberal Democrat seats were also uncontested.
