Church Street is an electoral ward of the City of Westminster. The population at the 2011 Census was 11,760. [1] The ward covers the eponymous street market and the surrounding area of Lisson Grove, to the north of the Edgware Road. The area is currently the focus of regeneration plans by the council.
The ward returns three councillors to Westminster City Council, with an election every four years. At the last election in May 2022, Matt Noble, Aicha Less and Abdul Toki, all candidates from the Labour Party, were elected to represent the ward.
Since the ward was created for the formation of the council in 1965, it has usually elected Labour councillors, with most results indicating a safe seat for the party. The sole occasion another party represented the ward was following the by-election of 24 July 2008, when a seat was won by a Conservative candidate for the first and only time to date, beating Labour's candidate Dave Rowntree, the drummer from the band Blur. [2] The seat was regained by Labour at the subsequent council election in May 2010, held on the same day as the general election.
Previous councillors elected for the area include the Dowager Countess of Lucan, barrister and current QC Gavin Millar, and subsequent London Assembly AM Murad Qureshi. [3]
There was a revision of ward boundaries in Westminster in 2022. Like the other wards of Westminster, Church Street is represented by three councillors on Westminster City Council. The last election was held on 5 May 2022, when all three councillors were elected. All three currently represent the Labour Party.
The election took place on 5 May 2022. [4]
