The third election to Hornchurch Urban District Council took place in April 1928. The election was for 4 of 13 seats on the council. The election increased the majority of the Ratepayer' Association on the council.
The council had decided in March 1928 to allow tennis to be played on Sundays at Hylands Park and this proved to be a controversial issue dominating the election.[1]
In 1928 four of the seats were up for re-election:
Harold Wood, 1 seat (out of 2)
Hornchurch Village, 1 seat (out of 4)
North West Hornchurch, 2 seats (out of 5)
There were no elections in the South Hornchurch ward.
