Southport was a 60 member council comprised of 45 Councillors and 15 Aldermen. There were 15 electoral wards which each returned three Councillors. A third of the councillors came up for re-election each year, excluding 1948 when there were no elections. In 1950 there were new wards with new boundaries.
Prior to World War One, political control of the council fluctuated between Conservative and Liberal. After World War One the Conservatives retained control until the 1960s when the Liberals briefly took control with Labour support. Prior to the council being wound up in 1973 control returned to the Conservatives.
