Councillors

Councillors are your local elected representatives.  They are usually members of a political party, though some may choose not to belong to any party and are called independents.  

The Borough is divided into 21 wards each comprising of three elected representatives bringing the total number of councillors to 63. Currently, the Conservative Group hold 31 seats, the Labour Group hold 14 seats, the Liberal Democrat Group hold 13 seats, the  Independent Councillors Group hold 4 seats and there is 1 independent Member.

The next election in Redbridge will be held in 2010.

You can meet with your local councillors at their regular public surgeries. Surgeries are informal, open sessions that councillors host in each ward. Come along to meet your councillors and raise your issues and concerns. You can also contact local councillors directly by phone, in writing, or by email.
