# 2000 Bracknell Forest Borough Council election

The 2000 Bracknell Forest Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2000, to elect all 40 members in 19 wards for Bracknell Forest Borough Council in England. The election was held on the same day as other local elections in England as part of the 2000 United Kingdom local elections. The Conservative Party secured a second term in office, increasing its majority. As the last council election in 1997 was held alongside the general election, turnout was sharply down.
