*New legislation in 2001 made it impossible for candidates to describe themselves as Independent Unionists. The UDP and Labour groups missed the deadline and so also had to describe themselves as Independents. The two "Independent" candidates elected were both from the Macedon DEA: Mark Langhammer, who describes himself as "Labour", and Tommy Kirkham, who describes himself on the council's web-site as an Independent Unionist (though he appears in the official register of Political Parties as the leader of the Ulster Protestant League).
