City of Cardiff Council election, 1999

The second election to the City of Cardiff Council following the re-organization of local government in Wales was held on 6 May 1995..[1] It was preceded by the 1995 election and followed by the 2004 elections. On the same day the first elections to the Welsh Assembly were held as well as elections to the other 21 local authorities in Wales. Labour retained a majority of the seats.[2]

Overview

All council seats were up for election. This was the second election to be held following local government reorganisation and the abolition of South Glamorgan County Council. The ward boundaries for the new authority were based on the previous Cardiff City Council.

Five new seats were created by adding additional seats to five existing wards. Labour won three of the new seats and the Liberal Democrats took the remaining two.
