Background

The Municipal Borough of Uxbridge, Hayes and Harlington Urban District, Ruislip-Northwood Urban District, and Yiewsley and West Drayton Urban District were combined to form the Borough of Hillingdon by the London Government Act 1963. Thus, these 1964 elections were the first council elections in the borough.

A total of 162 candidates stood in the election for the 60 seats being contested across 18 wards. These included a full slate from the Conservative and Labour parties, while the Liberals stood 33 candidates. Other candidates included 5 Independents and 4 Communists. There were 10 three-seat wards, 7 four-seat wards and 1 two-seat ward.

This election had aldermen as well as directly elected councillors. Labour got 7 aldermen and the Conservatives 3.

The Council was elected in 1964 as a "shadow authority" but did not start operations until 1 April 1965.
