Brighton Borough Council elections

Brighton was a non-metropolitan district in East Sussex, England. It was abolished on 1 April 1997 and replaced by Brighton and Hove.

Political control

Since the first election to the council in 1973 political control of the council has been held by the following parties:[1]

Party in controlYears
Conservative 1973-1983

Council elections

Elections from 1973 to 1983 were for the whole council. Following the 1983 election, one-third of the council (one seat in each of the 16 three-member wards) was up for election each year, other than county council election years. There was no election in 1996: the councillors due for election in that year had their term of office extended up to the end of the borough council in April 1997.
