Regionai Councillor Gerry Emm easily won -the north ward and won the west and east wards by six and 14 votes respectively. Emm's place at the top of the polis was due to his victory ini the north where he scored 335 more votes than did the second place finishing Ed- wards. The third man in the race, John Goodwin, did not win any of the wards, aithough Edwards only had one more vote than him in the north. Durham Board of Education trustees-eiect Ian Brown and John Buchanan split the wards and the two advance polis between them evenly with Brown winning one of the advance polis and west and centrae wards.
