Brondesbury Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brondesbury Park is a leafy and affluent electoral ward in the London Borough of Brent, centred around Brondesbury Park Station.
The ward returns three councillors to sit on Brent Council, traditionally from the Conservative party. However, in the 2006 local elections Brondesbury Park represented a dramatic victory for local Liberal Democrats, who climbed from third place in 2002 to take all three seats. This was widely attributed to the defection of the popular local campaigner Carol Shaw, who left the Conservatives to join the Liberal Democrats shortly before the Brent East by-election in 2003. [1]
Brondesbury Park is represented on Brent Council by Councillors Carol Shaw, Mark Cummins and Robin Pagnamenta. The ward forms part of the Brent East parliamentary constituency held by Sarah Teather.
