The 1994 election used the 1978 wards with some boundary revisions that became effective 1 April 1994.[2] The most significant change was Cranham East which lost Great Warley. Gooshays and Harold Wood gained and lost some territory as the borough boundary was aligned to the M25 motorway.[a]

Polling took place on 5 May 1994.[3]
