Council control after election

Labour

The 1999 Cardiff Council election was the second election to the post-1996 Cardiff Council following the re-organization of local government in Wales. It was held on Thursday 6 May 1999. [1] It was preceded by the 1995 election and followed by the 2004 elections. On the same day the first elections to the Welsh Assembly were held as well as elections to the other 21 local authorities in Wales. Labour retained a majority of the seats. [2]

Overview

All council seats were up for election. This was the second election to be held following local government reorganisation and the abolition of South Glamorgan County Council. In 1995 the ward boundaries for the new authority were based on the previous Cardiff City Council but, effective from the 1999 election, The City and County of Cardiff (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1998 increased the number of wards to 29 and the number of councillors to 75. [3]

Five new seats were created by adding additional seats to five existing wards. Labour won three of the new seats and the Liberal Democrats won the remaining two.

Outcome

The Labour Party won a comfortable majority of seats although it lost some ground compared to the inaugural elections four years previously. Of the 67 councillors elected in 1995, 43 were again returned in 1999 (38 Labour, 4 Liberal Democrat and 1 Plaid Cymru).

Betty Campbell, a community campaigner, former headteacher and Butetown councillor between 1991 and 1995, was the only independent councillor elected.
