The Broxbourne Council election, 1999 was held to elect council members of the Broxbourne Borough Council, the local government authority of the borough of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, England.

Results summary

An "all out" election was held in 13 wards on 6 May 1999.

12 wards returned 3 Councillors, the smaller Rosedale Ward returned 2 Councillors.

With the exception of Hoddesdon Town Ward all of the remaining wards had experienced boundary changes since the last election in 1998.

The political balance of the new council following this election was:

  • Conservative 33 seats
  • Labour 5 seats
  • The 5 seats won by Labour proved to be their largest representation achieved under the 1999 boundaries.
