Sheffield City Council election, 1994
![](../I/m/Sheffield_UK_local_election_1994_map.png)
Map of the results for the 1994 Sheffield council election.
Elections to Sheffield City Council were held on 5 May 1994. One third of the council was up for election. Since the previous election, three by-elections had taken place, resulting in two Lib Dem gains from Labour in Brightside and Walkley and a successful hold of a Dore seat by the Conservatives.[1] This, along with a defection from Burngreave councillor James Jamison, left Labour down three, the Liberal Democrats up two and the Conservatives unchanged going into this election.
