Elections to Wiltshire County Council were held on Thursday, 5 May 1977. The whole council of 79 members was up for election and the result was that the Conservatives took overall control, winning 57 seats, a gain of 17. They had previously had to rely on Independents. Labour ended with 14 county councillors, the Liberals and Independents four each.[1]
The Chairman of the Council since 1973, Frank Willan, was re-elected and continued in office until 1979, when he was succeeded by Nigel Anderson.
