The 1998 Redbridge Council election took place on 7 May 1998 to elect members of Redbridge London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed in no overall control.[2]

Background

In between the 1994 election and this election there were a total of 5 by-election to replace councillor who either resigned from their seats or who died in office, however none of them resulted in seats changing parties.[3] In addition to these by-elections there was a single seat that became vacant with too little time to hold a by-election, which meant the composition of the council just before the election was as follows:[4]
