The 1982 Havering Council election took place on 6 May 1982 to elect members of Havering London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.
The 1982 election used the ward boundaries established in 1978 for the second time. 63 councillors were elected from 25 wards. Each ward returned two or three councillors.
Polling took place on 6 May 1982.
The Conservative Party was re-elected, the first time a party in Havering was elected for a consecutive term with a majority of seats. The Labour Party retained the twelve seats they had won in 1978 covering the Harold Hill estate and the Airfield ward in Hornchurch. The Liberal Party (standing as SDP–Liberal Alliance candidates) won their first seats in a Havering election, taking all three seats in Rainham from the Residents and the two in Chase Cross from the Conservatives. The Conservative Party gained two of the three seats in South Hornchurch from the Residents and one seat went the other way in Upminster ward.[1] [2] [3] This gave the Conservative Party 37 councillors, one less than in 1978.
