Ealing wards and constituencies

Ealing contains three parliamentary constituencies:

  • Ealing Central & Acton
  • Ealing North
  • Ealing Southall.

Changes in boundaries at the next General Election (which must be by May 2015) will affect all three, but exactly how depends on the recommendations of the Boundaries Commission which are due in spring 2012 following public consultation on their original proposals.

We will report on the details when they are known. In the meantime, you can find which constituency you are in by entering your post code at the item "Find your local party" on the Liberal Democrats' national web site, http://libdems.org.uk/home.aspx .

There are five Lib Dem councillors on Ealing Borough Council. Their details and those of the main borough party officers are on the Get in Touch page.

    Article: Nov 5, 2011

    A local park in Hanwell is to receive an extra £20,000 of funding thanks to Elthorne Lib Dem Councillor Nigel Bakhai.

    King George's Field, a small park on the corner of St Mark's Road and Lower Boston Road, has been blighted by anti-social behaviour thorughout the year with both the Police and Fire Brigade regularly being called out to deal with fires, vandalism, and street drinkers in the area. Tacking the anti-social behaviour in King George's Field has been identified by the Elthorne Safer Neighbourhood Police as one of their three top priorities, and following a meeting Cllr Bakhai attended in August with members of Ealing Council's Parks and Community Safety teams, the council has installed CCTV next to the park which has reduced the number of incidents that have been reported to the local police.

  • Ealing Police Borough Commander with Liberal Democrat Group (Tony Miller)
    Article: Jul 25, 2011
    By Gary Malcolm

    The Ealing Liberal Democrat Council Group met with Ealing's Borough Commander to discuss the details of some cuts to local police (SNT) sergeants.

    There have been a lot of concerns about the possibility that the local SNT teams, who have built a good relationship in the 23 wards in Ealing, will be moved to areas of high crime for long periods which will mean crime will rise in other areas as well as seeing public confidence reduced. The plans will mean that some wards will be paired and have one sergeant (not two).
