Local council elections in all 32 London boroughs will be held on 5 May.
In Redbridge, 63 members of the council will be selected, contested across 22 wards. The South Woodford Village Gazette presents statements from the candidates standing in the two wards covered by this publication. South Woodford – which is represented by three councillors – has 11 nominated candidates, while Churchfields – also represented by three councillors – has 12 candidates. Both wards were created ahead of the 2018 elections following a boundary review.
Polling stations open at 7am on 5 May and close at 10pm. Voters do not need to bring any identification and can cast as many votes as there are councillors to be elected in their ward.
The results will be announced the following day.
