Elections were held to the City Council on 10 June 2004 and coincided with elections to the European Parliament. The entire complement of 78 seats in the City were contested due to major boundary changes that year. The Liberal Democrats ended thirty years of Labour control and the table below shows the composition of the Council Chamber following the election.
