The 2004 Norwich City Council election took place on 10 June 2004 to elect members of Norwich City Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections. This was the first election to be held under new ward boundaries, which reduced the number of seats from 48 to 39. As a result, all seats were up for election. The Liberal Democrats lost overall control of the council, which fell under no overall control.[2]
