Elections for Suffolk County Council as part of the 2001 United Kingdom local elections were held on 7 June. 80 councillors were elected from various electoral divisions, which returned one county councillor each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. The electoral divisions were the same as those used at the previous election in 1997. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.

Contents

As with other county elections in England, these local elections in Suffolk took place on the same day as the 2001 United Kingdom general election.

Summary

Government Formation

The incumbent Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition continued in government with Labour group leader Chris Mole (Ipswich Town) remaining as council leader until he won a parliamentary by-election in November 2001. He was succeeded by Jane Hore (Lowestoft Central), however in May 2003 she was replaced by deputy Bryony Rudkin (Priory Heath).
