Four years ago, amid recriminations over the abortive west London tram project, Labour found themselves unceremoniously dumped in Ealing's local council elections. But tonight they have seized back control.
Of the 69 seats in 23 wards, the result was:
Labour 40
Conservatives 24
Lib Dems 5
If this was a response to the Tories cavalier attitude to town planning, (Arcadia and Dickens Yard), then frankly, they too probably deserved a lesson in humility. It remains to be seen however, if Labour will have the same success in keeping down the council tax.

this is a very dark day indeed for the constituency.
ReplyDeleteEaling is a very marginal borough, and with only 69 seats to contest, it doesn't take much of a swing to change the outcome. This year it was the Acton wards that did it for the Tories.
