caption_attribution_description: English: Results of the 2008 local elections in Norwich Colours: &#160;&#160; Conservative &#160;&#160; Labour &#160;&#160; Liberal Democrat &#160;&#160; Green Party
context_page_description: The 2008 Norwich City Council election took place on 1 May 2008 to elect members of Norwich City Council in England. One third of seats were up for election. This was on the same day as other local elections.
  The Green Party won the most votes across Norwich for the first time, and won a plurality of the seats up for election. This marked the first time that the Greens had won a plurality of the votes and seats in a local authority election. It is also, to date, the last time that the Greens won the most seats or votes in a Norwich City Council election.
  However, as only 13 of 39 council seats were up for election, Labour remained the largest party.
  The 2008 election is, to date, the last election to see any member of the Conservative Party elected to Norwich City Council.
  All changes in vote share are calculated with reference to the 2004 election, the last time these seats were contested.
