Elections toCroydon Council inLondon,England were held on 4 May 2002. The council was up for election for the first time since the1998 election. TheLabour Party managed to keep control of the council which it had done since 1994 when it took power from theConservative Party. This year Labour held Croydon with a smaller majority, only clinging onto power through a tiny number of votes in its marginal wards - one councillor won by just eight votes.
37 Labour councillors, 32 Conservative councillors and 1 Liberal Democrat councillor were elected, maintaining Labour control of the Council. Subsequently, one Conservative councillor defected to Labour, defected back to the Conservatives, became an independent and then a Liberal Democrat.
