Council control after election

No overall control

The 1987 West Dorset District Council election was held on Thursday 7 May 1987 to elect councillors to West Dorset District Council in England. It took place on the same day as other district council elections in the United Kingdom. The entire council was up for election as West Dorset returned to whole councils elections, after previously having been elected in thirds.

The 1987 election saw the Independent councillors lose their majority they had held since the formation of the Council in 1974.
