2002 Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council election

Elections to Gateshead Council in Tyne and Wear, England were held on 2 May 2002. One third of the council was up for election and the Labour Party kept overall control of the council.[1]

The election took place with all postal voting in an attempt to increase voter turnout.[2] This followed a successful trial in two wards in the previous election in 2000.[3] As a result of the trial turnout rose from 30% to 57.4%, which was higher than Gateshead saw in the 2001 general election.[4]

Only one seat changed hands in the election, with the Liberal Democrats making one gain from Labour.[5]

After the election, the composition of the council was:
