The 1998 Havering London Borough Council election took place on 7 May 1998 to elect members of Havering London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed in no overall control.
63 councillors were elected from 25 wards. Each ward returned two or three councillors. The 1998 election was the last to use the wards established in 1978 (and subject to minor revision in 1994) with new boundaries in use for the next election in 2002. Councillors were elected for a four-year term.
Polling took place on 7 May 1998.
Labour remained the largest group on the council, losing two seats to become three short of a majority. [2] [3] [4] The Labour Party lost two seats to the Conservatives in Collier Row ward, two seats to the Liberal Democrats in Oldchurch ward and one to the Residents Association in St Andrew's ward. Two seats were gained by Labour from the Liberal Democrats in Harold Wood ward. The Conservatives gained one seat from the Liberal Democrats in St Edward's ward.
