The three by elections are taking place on 10 October
September 17, 2024
The candidates standing for election onto Ealing Council have been announced following the resignations of three ex-councillors who became MPs in the General Election. The three wards that will be contested are Hanger Hill, Northolt Mandeville and South Acton.
The by-elections will take place on Thursday, 10 October and it would be a major shock if Labour did not retain Northolt Mandeville and South Acton. The contest in Hanger Hill ward is expected to be closer with the seats already split between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats from the time of the last election. The Liberal Democrats are hopeful of taking one more seat from the Conservatives.
