1995 Bridgend County Borough Council election
The first election to the Bridgend County Borough Council was held on 4 May 1995.[1] It was followed by the 1999 election. On the same day there were elections to the other 21 local authorities in Wales and community councils in Wales.
Overview
All council seats were up for election. These were the first elections held following local government reorganisation and the abolition of Mid Glamorgan County Council. The ward boundaries for the new authority were based on the previous Ogmore Borough Council although the number of members elected for individual wards was reduced.
