• Source: 1995 Bridgend County Borough Council election

The first election to the Bridgend County Borough Council was held on 4 May 1995. 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 Ogwr Borough Council although the St Brides Major ward had been transferred to the Vale of Glamorgan, reducing councillor numbers by one.
The result of the election was a strong majority for the Labour Party, who made gains across Wales.




Candidates


Most sitting members of Mid Glamorgan County council sought election to the new authority. A number were also members of the previous district council but others contested a ward against a sitting district councillor.

KEY
o candidate previously elected to Ogwr Borough Council in 1991

Contests took place in only 16 of the 28 wards, with councillors in 12 wards elected unopposed.
