1999_Rhondda_Cynon_Taf_County_Borough_Council_election
The second election to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council was held on 6 May 1999.[1] It was preceded by the 1995 election and followed by the 2004 election. On the same day there were elections to the other 21 local authorities in Wales and community councils in Wales and the first elections to the National Assembly for Wales were held.
An additional seat was created in the Pontyclun ward while the Rhydfelen Lower ward was abolished.
All 75 council seats were up for election. Plaid Cymru won control of the authority from Labour.[2]
