1938 Hornchurch Urban District Council election

The 13th election to Hornchurch Urban District Council took place on 4 April 1938. The election was for 7 of 13 seats on the council.

Background

In 1938 seven of the seats were up for re-election:

• Emerson Park, 1 seat (out of 3)
• Harold Wood, 1 seat (out of 2)
• Hornchurch Town, 1 seat (out of 4)
• North West Hornchurch, 2 seats (out of 5)

The results were as follows:
