2004 Elections to Newport City Council were held on 10 June 2004 along with elections to the other 21 local authorities and community councils in Wales, as well as elections in the remainder of the United Kingdom. It was the first full election in Newport since it was awarded city status in 2002.
The 50 councillors elected in this election serve a four-year term.
The previous election took place in 1999.
The next full election took place in May 2008.
Newport County Borough was awarded city status in 2002,[1] which also changed the status of the council[2] (though the results were still reported as Newport County Borough at this election).
Following an electoral review there were a number of ward boundary changes and the number of elected councillors increased from 47 to 50, effective from the 2004 election.[3]
