Ward profile
editThe ward stretches from the River Brent, which forms its the northern and western border, to the Great Western Main Line in the south, covering almost all of the northern half of Hanwell. The ward is primarily residential in character, containing several neighbourhoods designated as conservation areas including the Cuckoo Estate,[3] built in the 1930s on the site of the closed Cuckoo Schools. Much of Brent River Park lies in the west of the ward, including Brent Lodge Park and Hanwell Zoo.[4][5] The ward contains several notable landmarks, including Hanwell Community Centre, built in 1856 as a school administrative building,[6] as well as St Mary's Church, built on the site of Hanwell's original parish church in 1842,[7] both of which are Grade II-listed.
Political history
editIn 2022, the Labour Party won all three seats by a margin of over 1100 votes, with the Conservative Party and Green Party finishing a distant second and third. In 2026, both Labour and the Conservatives lost votes, and the ward became a Labour-Green marginal for the first time, with Labour winning the final seat by a reduced margin of just 122 votes over the Greens.[8]
The ward's predecessor, Hobbayne, which existed from 1978 until 2022, was always represented by at least one Labour councillor, but elected split tickets of Labour and Conservative councillors on four occasions.[9] From 2014 until its abolition it was represented only by councillors from the Labour Party.
