The 11th election to Dagenham Urban District Council took place on 4 April 1936.

Background

In 1936 seven of the seats were up for re-election:

  • Becontree Heath, 3 seats (out of 8)
  • Chadwell Heath, 1 seat (out of 5)
  • Dagenham, 3 seats (out of 10)

The seats were last contested three years prior at the election in 1933. Members were elected in 1936 for a three-year term that was due to end in 1939. However, Dagenham was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1938. Terms were cut short in November 1938 and an all-out election took place.

Polling took place on 4 April 1936.[1]
