City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council election, 2004

Last updated March 20, 2019

Elections to City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council were held on 10 June 2004. The whole council was up for election following boundary changes. The council stayed under no overall control.^[1]^[2]

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is the local authority of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. It is a metropolitan district council, one of five in West Yorkshire and one of 36 in the metropolitan counties of England, and provides the majority of local government services in Bradford. Since 1 April 2014 it has been a constituent council of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

In the context of local authorities in the United Kingdom, the term no overall control refers to a situation in which no single political group achieves a majority of seats; and is analogous to a hung parliament. Of the 310 councils who had members up for election in the 2007 local elections, 85 resulted in a NOC administration.
