Last night (May 24th 2022) Ealing Labour voted through some large increases in pay for the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Portfolio holders. The Liberal Democrat Councillors on Ealing Council voted against these changes.

Liberal Democrat Councillor Gary Malcolm, Leader of the Opposition said: "Liberal Democrats say that it is wrong for Labour to massively increase the allowances for the Leader and other senior roles without any discussion with the communities of Ealing. Councillors should be paid a fair allowance for the work they do, but Labour’s proposals seem very wrong given the current cost of living crisis. It appears they are sticking their noses into the gravy boat.”

On 21st May, the Ealing Liberal Democrats held a BBQ to celebrate the 2022 election results and to thank all those who contributed to the successful campaign. We are now the official opposition on Ealing Council. 

The Ealing Liberal Democrat group has held its first meeting as the official opposition group on Ealing Council and agreed its portfolios for the coming term.

In this May’s local elections, the Ealing Liberal Democrats made gains against the Conservatives to become the official opposition.

Liberal Democrats made gains in Ealing Common and also won a seat in the previously Tory stronghold of Hanger Hill to increase the number of their councillors to six. The Tory losses mean they are now the third party in Ealing.

In the Hanger Hill ward, new councillor Athena Zissimos was elected taking a seat from the Conservatives after a long, hardworking campaign to clean up the area. In Ealing Common, new Lib Dem Councillor Connie Hersch, was elected alongside existing Councillor Jon Ball. In Southfield ward Gary Busuttil, Gary Malcolm and Andrew Steed increased their margin of victory taking half of the vote. With only a few hundred more votes, the Liberal Democrats could have made three additional gains.

Councillor Gary Malcolm, Group Leader for Ealing Liberal Democrats speaks at Ealing Citizens Assembly and commits to delivering real improvements in services across the borough including a real living wage, tackling rogue landlords, delivering social housing, training mental health champions and improving the SEN system.

Councillor Andrew Steed speaks at the Ealing Transition election debate to set out Ealing Liberal Democrat's commitments on climate change and other environmental policies.

Over Easter Mark Pack, President of the Liberal Democrats, visited Hanger Hill ward which has seen a flurry of activity over the past few months. The Liberal Democrat team led by Athena Zissimos, Jonathan Oxley and Mark Sanders have seen a big increase in support since the by-election that took place in 2021.

Mark Pack, President of the Liberal Democrats, said: "During the visit I saw that there appears to be some momentum building up here. From speaking to residents in Hanger Hill, there has been a shift of people who used to vote Conservative now pledging to support the local Liberal Democrats. People were annoyed that Boris Johnson has lied and expressed a wish to have a fresh start so that Hanger Hill can be made clean and safe."

Ealing Liberal Democrats have selected three local residents to contest the Walpole ward in the elections to the Council which take place on the 5th May 2022. They are (left-to-right) Jon Ward, Matthew Mellor and Mark Andrews.

Ealing Liberal Democrats are pleased to announce a full set of candidates standing for the 70 councillor positions across 24 new wards. The elections to Ealing Council take place on the 5th May 2022.
