Brighton Borough Council elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brighton was a non-metropolitan district in East Sussex, England. It was abolished on 1 April 1997 and replaced by Brighton and Hove.
Leadership
From the first election to the council in 1973 until its abolition in 1997 political control of the council was held by the following parties:[1]
| Party in control | Years | |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 1973–1983 | |
| No overall control | 1983–1988 | |
| Labour | 1988–1997 | |
The last leader of the council, Steve Bassam, who had led the council from 1987, went on to be the first leader of the replacement authority, Brighton and Hove City Council.
| Councillor | Party | From | To | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steve Bassam[2] | Labour | 1987 | 1997 | |
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.
