(Redirected from North Tyneside Council election, 2003)
Elections to North Tyneside Metropolitan Council took place on 1 May 2003 on the same day as other local council elections in England.
North Tyneside Council is elected "in thirds" which means one councilor from each three-member ward is elected each year with a third year when the mayoral election takes place.
There was also a mayoral by-election held, which was won by Linda Arkley of the Conservative Party, after Chris Morgan was forced to resign due to allegations of possessing indecent images of children on his computer. He was subsequently cleared of all charges.[1][2]
