All of Berkshire County Council's 76 seats were up for election. Prior to the election, the county council had been under no overall control, with a coalition of Labour, the Liberal Democrats and independents running the authority. The Labour leader, Lawrence Silverman, had been leader of the council. After the election, there was still no overall control of the council, but the Liberal Democrats became the largest party. The Conservatives lost over half their seats on the council. It was decided after the election that the coalition would continue, but with the Liberal Democrat leader, Linda Murray, being declared joint leader alongside Lawrence Silverman at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 1993.Unopposed chiefs agree to steer county together https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ 13 June 2022 Reading Evening Post 25 May 1993 5 The 1993 election turned out to be the final election to Berkshire County Council. It was decided in 1996 to abolish the county council and transfer its functions to the county's six district councils, making them unitary authorities. The elections that would have been held for Berkshire County Council in 1997 were therefore cancelled, with elections being held instead for the six districts that year. Berkshire County Council continued to exist until 31 March 1998, with the new unitary authorities assuming their new powers on 1 April 1998.The Berkshire (Structural Change) Order 1996 (Statutory Instrument 1996 No. 1879) 1996 Her Majesty's Stationery Office London https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/1879/contents/made 13 June 2022 Results summary Berkshire County Council Election, 1993 Liberal Democrats (UK) 33 +18 43.4 39.3 92,704 Conservative Party (UK) 16 -21 21.1 35.7 84,145 Labour Party (UK) 24 +5 31.6 20.2 47,536 Liberal Party (UK, 1989) 1 0 1.3 1.5 3,580 Green Party of England and Wales 0 0.0 1.2 2,731 Natural Law Party 0 0.0 0.0 74 Monster Raving Loony 0 0.0 0.0 64 Independent (politician) 2 -2 2.6 2.1 4,878 Ward results The results in each ward were as follows (candidates with an asterisk* were the previous incumbent standing for re-election):Voting figures in full https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ 13 June 2022 Reading Evening Post 7 May 1993 7–8Rallings Colin Thrasher Michael Berkshire County Council Election Results 1973-1993 2015 Plymouth University http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Berkshire-County.pdf 13 June 2022 Abbey ward (Reading)Labour Party (UK) Mohammad Iqbal 1299 57.9 Conservative Party (UK) Mark Boyle 458 21.6 Liberal Democrats (UK) John Wood 335 15.8 Green Party of England and Wales Howard Darby 100 4.731.2Labour Party (UK) Ascot and Sunningdale ward (Windsor and Maidenhead)Conservative Party (UK) John Maisey 1988 64.2 Liberal Democrats (UK) Sonya Lippold 851 27.5 Labour Party (UK) Robert Draper 259 8.434.5Conservative Party (UK) Battle ward (Reading)Labour Party (UK) Stuart White* 1089 61.7 Conservative Party (UK) Leslie Crumplin-Hill 395 22.4 Liberal Democrats (UK) Simon Weinberger 280 15.929Labour Party (UK) Belmont ward (Windsor and Maidenhead)Liberal Democrats (UK) Andrew Hickley* 1320 56.3 Conservative Party (UK) Dorothy Kemp 842 35.9 Labour Party (UK) Nigel Smith 182 7.838.6Liberal Democrats (UK) Binfield ward (Bracknell Forest)Labour Party (UK) Amanda Williams 2005 46.7 Conservative Party (UK) Ian Leake 1,607 37.4 Liberal Democrats (UK) Catherine Dickson 682 15.943.3Labour Party (UK) Conservative Party (UK) Boyn Hill ward (Windsor and Maidenhead)Liberal Democrats (UK) Edward Clarke 1815 56.8 Conservative Party (UK) John Tryon 1,216 38 Labour Party (UK) Victor Longman 166 5.243.1Liberal Democrats (UK) Independent (politician) Bradfield ward (Newbury)Conservative Party (UK) Elizabeth Still* 2226 50.1 Liberal Democrats (UK) Keith Lock 2,014 45.3 Labour Party (UK) Leslie Champ 160 3.6 Natural Law Party John Buckley 42 0.970.4Conservative Party (UK) Bray ward (Windsor and Maidenhead)Independent politician Roger Carter 1558 51.8 Conservative Party (UK) Tony Wiseman* 1,299 43.2 Labour Party (UK) Kathleen Cutting 151 540.2Independent (politician) Conservative Party (UK) Britwell ward (Slough)Labour Party (UK) D.
