Bristol City Council Elections 1990
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One third of seats were up for election. There were by-elections in Brislington East and Easton. As Easton also had an election in the usual schedule, 2 seats were elected in that ward. There was a significant swing against the Liberal Democrats, largely as a result of the post-merger chaos that the party suffered.
The party standings following the election:
| Party | Cllrs | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Labour Party | 43 | +4 | |
| Conservative Party | 21 | -3 | |
| Liberal Democrats | 4 | -1 | |
| Total | 68 | ||
[edit] Ward Results
The change is calculated using the results when these actual seats were last contested, i.e. the 1986 election.
