Labour has retained two wards – Northolt Mandeville and South Acton and while Lib Dems have won one ward – Hanger Hill, following Ealing Council by-elections yesterday (10 October 2024).
Dominic Moffitt (Labour Party) won Northolt Mandeville, Katie Douglas (Labour Party) won South Acton and Jonathan Oxley (Liberal Democrat) won Hanger Hill.
The ward by-elections were triggered following the 4 July 2024 national elections which saw Callum Anderson previously a councillor for South Acton become Labour MP for Buckingham & Bletchley, Northolt Mandeville Labour councillor Deirdre Costigan win Ealing Southall and Conservative Gregory Stafford who represented the Hanger Hill ward became MP for Farnham & Bordon.
New Liberal Democrat Councillor Jonathan Oxley said of his win: “I am delighted to have been elected in the Hanger Hill by-election. I have been listening to the residents in Ealing over the past three years and it is clear that we need the Council and the police to work together to make Hanger Hill cleaner and safer.”
Liberal Democrat Councillor Gary Malcolm, leader of the opposition added: “The Liberal Democrats are absolutely delighted to welcome Jonathan Oxley as another Liberal Democrat Hanger Hill Councillor to work alongside Councillor Athena Zissimos. Together they will be working to make improvements for the benefit of residents, working hard on issues raised by locals.”
Posting on X, Councillor Moffitt said: “Delighted to have been elected tonight to represent Northolt Mandeville at @EalingCouncil for @EalingLabour. The result is a vote of confidence in the leadership and direction of Ealing Council.”
Council leader Councillor Peter Mason said on X: “Congratulations to Northolt Mandeville’s new councillor, Cllr Dom Moffitt @NortholtDom. Proud to welcome a longtime Ealing stalwart onto the team. Thanks once more to every Labour member and activist who supported @EalingLabour’s wins today.”
Councillor Mason also added: “Congratulations to South Acton’s new councillor, Cllr Katie Douglas @Katie4Acton. Strong result for Labour with over 50% of the vote. Green Party falls backward to 3rd place.”
