Harrow

Current ward boundaries
Review Body

As of July 2018, the Commission has begun a three-year programme of electoral reviews of London Boroughs that it has not reviewed in the last 5 years.

This will mean that 25 of London’s 32 Boroughs will be reviewed before the end of 2020. 

As a result, the Commission is now carrying out an electoral review of the London Borough of Harrow.

The aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters.

We also aim to ensure that the ward boundaries reflect the interests and identities of local communities, as well as promoting effective local government.

To achieve these aims, we need to re-draw ward boundaries across Harrow. You can find out more about the review below.

The consultation on the further draft recommendations for Harrow Council has now closed.

From 2 April to 29 April 2019, we are accepting opinions and comments (submissions) from the public on changed draft recommendations for Harrow Council.

The consultation focuses on new proposals for Borough ward boundaries, in the following areas:

  • Harrow Weald
  • Wealdstone North
  • Wealdstone South

The Commission has listened to the views of the public put to it during an earlier consultation, and now proposes to change its plans, to reflect the significance of the evidence we received.

Due to the significance of the proposed changes in Harrow Weald, Wealdstone North, and Wealdstone South, the Commission is now accepting additional opinions and comments (submissions) from local people about the areas affected. 

The Commission is satisfied with the evidence received for the rest of the Borough, and is therefore not seeking further opinions and comments (submissions) on areas other than those listed above.

The Commission plans to publish its final recommendations for the whole Borough on 4 June.
