# 1994 Bromley London Borough Council election

The 1994 Bromley Council election took place on 5 May 1994 to elect members of Bromley London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council.

## Background

The Conservatives went into the election defending a large majority won in 1990. However, that majority had been reduced by two when the Liberal Democrats gained Chelsfield & Goddington in the 1993 by-election.

## Election result

The turnout across the borough was 48.1%, the second highest turn out in the council's history.
