2003 Preston City Council election

This article details the results of Elections to Preston City Council held in May 2003

Map of the results of the 2003 Preston council election. Labour in red, Conservatives in blue, Liberal Democrats in yellow, independent in light grey and Socialist Alliance in light red. Wards in dark grey were not contested in 2003.

Preston Council is elected "in thirds", which means in 2002 the entire council was up for election and in subsequent years one councillor from the three-member wards and one councillor from selected two-member wards defend their seat. In these result tables, the share of the vote is blank as the 2002 elections cannot be fairly compared. Any gain or loss can be recorded as each year the councillors are defending their ward results.
