One third of the council – alongside a vacancy in Moss Side – was up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a two-year term of office, expiring in 2004, due to the boundary changes and 'all-out' elections due to take place in that year. The Independent Labour candidates stood as "Independent Progressive Labour". Overall turnout rose to 24.4% and the Labour Party retained overall control of the council.Manchester Evening News, 3 May 2002. http://www.manchester.gov.uk/elections/local/results02.htm Manchester
