Councillors and Election Results

The TW8 area contains two Hounslow Council wards, Brentford and Syon. Generally speaking, Brentford ward covers roads east of Boston Manor Road, although there are exceptions. Further details are available at the election maps website.

In the local wards during the last election in May 2006 there were significant changes with Labour wiped out in Syon ward and just managing to hang on to two seats in Brentford.

The gain of three seats in Syon by the Isleworth Community Group built on their strong performance of 2002 when they narrowly lost out on taking these seats. The gains mean that they now control half the seats on the Isleworth and Brentford Area Committee.

New Composition of Hounslow Council

2002 Hounslow Council Elections

Brentford Ward

The main surprise in Brentford in 2002 was the election of Luke Kirton. The ABeeC party was formed by Brentford fans unhappy with what they saw as a lack of positive action on their behalf by Hounslow Council. Generally their results were unspectacular but some intensive door to door campaigning saw them take their 'home' ward by 11 votes.

Syon Ward

Sitting councillors took all the seats in this new ward, seeing off a strong challenge from the Community Group.

Isleworth and Brentford Area Committee

To deal with issues specifically related to the Brentford area there is a local committee made up principally of councillors that meets on a regular basis.

The Brentford and Isleworth Area Committee has devolved powers from the Hounslow Council to make policy specific to the area. These powers include the ability to decide on smaller residential and commercial planning matters. The committee also has a budget for environmental and transport improvements. There is an open forum at these meetings in which you can raise a matter of local concern by filling out a form prior to the meeting.

The Area Committee meets to discuss planning issues at the Brentford and Isleworth Area Planning Committee meetings. Details of forthcoming meetings and minutes of previous meetings can be found here.

Other relevant matters, including policing, education etc, are discussed at the Brentford and Isleworth Monitoring Committee. Details of meetings and minutes can be found here. Further information can be found at Hounslow Council's website.
