The 2004 Southend-on-Sea Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of Southend-on-Sea Unitary Council in Essex, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council.[1]
After the election, the composition of the council was
- Conservative 33
- Labour 9
- Liberal Democrat 7
- Independent 2[2]
Election result
The results saw the Conservatives make one gain in the election to hold control of the council with 33 seats.[3] The Conservative gain came in St Lukes ward where they defeated the Labour councillor, Reg Copley, who had been first elected to the council in 1963.[3] They also came within 4 votes of gaining Kursaal,[4] but the only other change was an independent gain from the Liberal Democrats in Westborough.[3]
