2001 UK local government election

The 2001 Thurrock Council election took place on 7 June 2001 to elect members of Thurrock Council in Essex, England. The election took place at the same time as the 2001 general election after being postponed from the first week of May due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. One third of the council was up for election and the Labour party stayed in overall control of the council.

Among the candidates in the election was Pauline Campbell who stood as an independent after resigning from the Conservatives. Campbell, who was disabled and using a wheelchair, said that she initially told she would be the Conservative candidate but was later informed she could not stand as she would not be able to canvass. However the Conservatives denied this and said that they just wanted to give someone else a chance.

After the election, the composition of the council was

  • Labour 37
  • Conservative 10
  • Independent 2
