The Slough Borough Council election was held on 1 May 1997, at the same time as other local elections across England and Northern Ireland, and on the same day as the general election. All of the 41 seats on Slough Borough Council were up for election, rather than the usual third of the seats. This was in preparation for the local government reorganisation in Berkshire which saw Berkshire County Council abolished and its functions transferred to the six district councils, including Slough, with effect from 1 April 1998. The elections to Berkshire County Council which would ordinarily have been held in 1997 were cancelled.

All of the 41 seats on Slough Borough Council were up for election, rather than the usual third of the seats.

The elections to Berkshire County Council which would ordinarily have been held in 1997 were cancelled. The election left Labour with a large majority on the council, taking 34 of the council's 41 seats. (en)
