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 with two or three
elected representatives bringing the total number of councillors to
63. Currently, the Conservatives hold 32 seats, the
Labour Party hold 17 seats, the Liberal Democrat Party
hold 11 seats, and there are three independent
Members.
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.
