Can it be arranged so that, in the period leading up to the 1987 election, the UK Labour Party doesn't have to contend with the stigma of association with the supposed loony-left then dominating(among other things) local councils?

Of course, I recognize that how one answers this question might depend on whether you think there really was a contingent of left-wing lunatics running things on the councils, or if the whole controversy was just a mirage conjured-up by Tory-leaning tabloids. Personally, I lean toward the latter view, though having spent quite a bit of time among left-wingers, I do recognize that some of them can be their own worst enemies.
