The 1994 Bromley Council election took place on 5 May 1994 to elect members of Bromley London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council.[1]
The Conservatives went into the election defending a large majority won in 1990. However, that majority had been reduced by two when the Liberal Democrats gained Chelsfield & Goddington in the 1993 by-election.
Election resultEdit
The turnout across the borough was 48.1%, the second highest turn out in the council's history.
For the Conservatives, 40.9% was their lowest share of the vote of all the nine sets of elections to date and 32 was also their lowest number of seats won. Their overall majority of 4 seats was their lowest in the council's history. For the Liberal Democrats their 36.6% was their highest share of the vote and 21 the most number of seats won. The first past the post voting system was shown to have benefitted the Conservatives and worked against the Labour Party while the Liberal Democrats achieved a fair representation.
