Elections to North Tyneside Metropolitan Council took place on 1 May 2008 on the same day as other local council elections in England.
North Tyneside Council is elected "in thirds" which means one councillor from each three-member ward is elected each year with a fourth year when the mayoral election takes place.
One-third of the councillors were elected in 2008. The Conservative Party gained an overall majority of one on the council after the election which previously had been under no overall control. However the directly elected mayor, John Harrison, belongs to the Labour Party, meaning Labour remained in effective control of the council, as he can only be overruled by a two-thirds majority of the council.
