An election to Ceredigion District Council was held in May 1991.[1] It was preceded by the 1987 election and followed, after local government reorganization, by the first election to Ceredigion County Council in 1995. On the same day there were elections to the other local authorities and community councils in Wales.
Overview
[edit]The Independents remained the largest group with a number of councillors elected unopposed.[2] The uncontested wards were mainly in rural areas.[3] However, some wards were keenly contested, including Cardigan.[4]
