What each party is promising in the Westminster council election

Westminster City Council will be “one to watch” at the upcoming elections on May 7.

Whichever party wins control of the local council will be victorious in one of the most recognisable parts of the country.

As things stand, experts believe the results will be a two-party race, between the Conservatives and the Labour Party.

Tony Travers, who is a researcher in elections and lecturer at the London School of Economics, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the results balance on a “knife-edge” margin.

Labour, Conservatives, Reform and the Greens are all standing 54 candidates across the 18 wards.

The Liberal Democrats will be fielding 45 nominees.

There is also one independent and one Workers Party candidate running.
