New ward boundaries were used for the first time. Prior to the 2002 election the council had 63 councillors. From the 2002 election, 54 councillors were elected from 18 wards. Each ward returned three councillors.

Six of the wards were new, including a recreated Cranham ward which had been abolished in 1978. The remaining wards shared the names of previously used wards but with new boundaries. Councillors were elected for a four-year term with the next election scheduled for 2006.

Polling took place on 2 May 2002. [1]
