Elections to Bromley Council were held on 7th May, 1998. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative party lost overall control of the council to no overall control.[1]
Because the Council fell into no Overall Control, for the first time in the London Borough of Bromley history it was taken over by a Liberal Democrat/Labour Coalition. This ended in 2001 when the Conservatives regained the council.
