Local council elections in all 32 London boroughs will be held this May. In Redbridge, 63 members of the council will be selected, contested across 22 wards.
The Wanstead Village Directory presents statements from the candidates standing in the two wards covered by this publication. Wanstead Village – which is represented by three councillors – has 15 nominated candidates, while Wanstead Park – represented by two councillors – has 10 candidates. Both wards were created ahead of the 2018 elections following a boundary review.
Polling stations open at 7am on 7 May and close at 10pm. Voters will need to show photo ID (passport, photocard driving licence and a range of travel passes are accepted) at the polling stations, and can cast as many votes as there are councillors to be elected in their ward. The results will be announced the following day.
