The 1994 North Hertfordshire District Council election was held on 5 May 1994, at the same time as other local elections across England and Scotland. There were 16 out of 50 seats on North Hertfordshire District Council up for election, being the usual third of the council.The District of North Hertfordshire (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1977 (S.I. 1977/1442)
Labour won most votes, but saw no net increase in its number of seats. The Conservatives saw a net loss of two seats, leaving them with exactly half the council's seats, putting the council under no overall control. The Conservatives continued to form the council's administration after the election by virtue of the chairman's casting vote.Overall control slips away https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search/british-newspapers 5 April 2023 Cambridge Evening News 6 May 1994 2Tories' 20 years of control is ended https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search/british-newspapers 5 April 2023 Royston and Buntingford Mercury 13 May 1994 1
