lElections for Redbridge Council in London were held on 2 May 2002. It was a part of the wider 2002 London local elections. The Conservatives won 43% of the vote in the borough. The turnout was 34.26%, a decrease from the 36% seen in the 1998 London local elections.
Background
Ward Changes
While there were boundary changes this election similar to every other London Borough Council, Redbridge got through it without eliminating wards or adding new wards. They only added a seat to the Goodmayes ward to bring the total number of seats from 62 to 63.
Council Composition
In between the previous election and this one there was one by-election that occurred, leading to Labour losing a seat to the Conservatives after the resignation of Cllr. Desmond Thurlby in 1998. In addition to this another Labour councillor defected to a third party and another Labour seat was left vacant with too little time to hold a by-election before the main election, which meant the composition of the council just before the election was as follows:Minors Michael Grenham Dennis London Borough Council Elections - 2 May 2002 - Changes 1998-02 https://data.london.gov.uk/download/2zmwy/7ab5d023-6683-44ee-8638-dd00593e2055/London-Borough-Council-Elections-2002.pdf 17 Feb 2026 London Datastore Greater London Authority 134
