The 1998 Camden Borough Council election took place on 7 May 1998 to elect members of Camden London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour Party stayed in overall control of the council.[2]
Background
[edit]In the four years before this election there were two by-elections to replace councillors who resigned, one in Adelaide and one in Bloomsbury.[3] These by-elections didn't result in seats changing parties however.
In addition to this there was one allegiance change from Labour to Independent Labour in the Swiss Cottage ward which meant the composition of the council just before the election was as follows:[4]
46 | 1 | 5 | 7 |
Labour | Ind. Labour | Lib Dem | Con |
Campaign
[edit]Issues in the election included a recent 10% council tax rise which was the highest in London, service improvements, claims that a partnership with the police had cut crime and a strike in local libraries.[5]
Election result
[edit]Overall turnout in the election was 33.4%.[6] At the same as the election Camden saw 81.18% vote in favour of the 1998 Greater London Authority referendum and 18.82% against, on a 32.84% turnout.[7]
