Due to the Local Government Act 1972, this was the last election before the abolition of alderman, which would officially take effect from 1974. However, the biggest change of this new legilation meant that Warwickshire was effectively cut in half, and the northern part turning into the new metropolitan authority called; The West Midlands County Council. This also meant a reduction in the number of WCC councillors (77 down to 55) and elections would take place every four years, not three.
