Hounslow Borough - Local Election

The Conservatives currently control the Council in a coalition with the Isleworth Community Group. Nine of their seats are from the Chiswick wards and they are expected to retain them so the future make up of the Council is likely to be determined elsewhere in the borough. The Conservatives need to win another 7 seats to gain overall control whilst Labour needs to gain 8 to win back the Council.

Ealing Borough - Local Election

The Conservatives hold the borough by a large margin. Labour will be hoping that special factors such as the West London tram explained their surprisingly large defeat last time out and that they will stage a rebound. The Liberal Democrats will be looking to win more seats including the one they don't currently hold in the local Southfield ward.
