The second election to City and County of Swansea Council was held in May 1999. [1] It was preceded by the 1995 election and followed by the 2004 election.
All council seats were up for election. These were the second elections held following local government reorganisation and the abolition of West Glamorgan County Council.
There were some changes in ward boundaries for this election. The numbers of councillors changed in some wards, resulting in an overall increase in councillors to 72, as a result of The City and County of Swansea (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1998. [2]
The contests were fought by most of the main parties but Labour was the only one to contest the majority of seats.
