Croydon London Borough Council election, 1998

Elections to Croydon Council in London, England were held on 7 May 1998. The whole council was up for election and the Labour party stayed in overall control of the council.^[1] For the first time in a local election two polling stations were situated in supermarkets.^[2]

Before the election the council had been seen as a top target for the Conservatives who only needed a small swing of 2 percent to take control.^[3] The Labour party had taken control of the council for the first time in the council's history in the previous election in 1994.^[4] The removal of mounted patrols from parks and an increase in nursery places were seen as important issues in the election.^[5] Both main parties concentrated on trying to get their vote out and were targeting several key wards.^[4]
