Deutsch2003 Hull City Council election
The 2003 Hull City Council election took place on 1 May 2003 to elect members of Hull City Council in England. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.[1]
The council had fallen from Labour control in the 2002 election after the Liberal Democrats made big gains.[2] The 2003 election saw controversy over a proposal to demolish 2,500 council houses in Hull,[2] which had seen some Liberal Democrat cabinet members sacked and other councillors leave the party.[3] The results saw Labour make 4 gains to become the largest party on the council once again,[4] which enabled them to form the administration on the council.[5]
After the election, the composition of the council was
- Labour 28
- Liberal Democrat 21
- Independent 8
- Conservative 2[6]
