Voting in the Brentford Area - May 2006


Lib Dems, Tories and ICG gain more seats in local wards

In the local wards there were significant changes with Labour wiped out in Syon ward by the Isleworth Community Group and just managing to hang on to two seats in Brentford. The Conservatives held onto all the seats in Osterley and Spring Grove comfortably as did the ICG in Isleworth.

Full details of the local ward results

The gain of three seats in Syon by the ICG 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. Previously Labour and the Conservatives had carved up the key positions on the planning and monitoring committees but it remains to be seen how the ICG will be able to use their extra voting power. The one Liberal Democrat councillor may hold the balance of power.
