Governance
Bromley consists of 22 wards made up of 60 council seats. These are currently represented by:
- Conservative: 53
- Liberal Democrat: 4
- Labour councillors: 3
Since the Borough’s creation, Bromley had always been under Conservative control until the local elections of 7 May 1998 when a Liberal Democrat/Labour coalition assumed power. Following a number of by-elections and a defection, the Conservatives regained control on 5 July 2001.
The 22 wards are shown on the accompanying map. Ward names often straddle the named settlements and suburban areas above: their boundaries are fixed, whereas the latter are not.
