The2004 Hull City Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members ofHull City Council inEngland. One third of the council was up for election and the council stayed underno overall control.^[1]

After the election, the composition of the council was:

Campaign

[edit]

Before the election theLabour Party formed the administration after becoming the largest party in the2003 election.^[3] Their administration however was criticised by theAudit Commission, which raised the hopes of theLiberal Democrats that they could regain control of the council.^[3]

Labour campaigned saying that voters should choose "order and progress" under themselves rather than the chaos they said the Liberal Democrats had brought while they were in office.^[4] They hoped to expand their pilot programme of freeschool meals for all children to all schools within the city.^[4] The Liberal Democrats however wanted to abolish the programme and pledged to establish crime prevention funds for neighbourhoods, free off-peak bus travel for pensioners and expandrecycling.^[4] The Liberal Democrats also pledged to keepcouncil tax increases to the same level as rises in earnings for the 2 years after the election.^[4]

20 of the 59 seats on the council were contested in the election,^[4] which was conducted with allpostal voting in common with councils across 4 of theEnglish regions.^[5]

Election result

[edit]

The results saw the Labour Party remain the largest party on the council with 27 seats but with the Liberal Democrats gaining 2 seats to hold 24 after the election.^[6] As a result, the council remained hung with no party having a majority on the council.^[6] The most high-profile result saw theUnited Kingdom Independence Party win their first local council seat after John Cornforth defeated theindependent councillor, John Considine, in Derringhamward by 7 votes after 6 recounts.^[6]^[7] However the independents immediately said that they would mount a legal challenge to the result.^[8]

Legal challenge

[edit]

The independent candidate in Derringham said he would make a legal challenge to the result as theReturning Officer had said 3,540ballot papers had been returned but that when the results were declared 140 ballot papers were missing.^[9] The independents claimed that these missing papers had ended up in counting rooms for other wards.^[9] They also said that people in Derringham had received ballots in the post that were intended for Marfleet ward and that no one knew how many people this had affected and were thus unable to vote.^[9]^[10]

The court challenge was successful with theHigh Court ruling that the result "may well have been affected".^[11] As a result, a new vote was ordered to be held,^[11] with the election set for 13 January 2005.^[12] Theby-election was won by Michael Rouse-Deane of the Liberal Democrats who had come fourth in the original election in Derringham.^[13]
