EALING voters will be heading to the polls in May to elect three new councillors in the borough's by-elections.

Alongside the London-wide Mayoral election on May 6, residents will be able to cast their ballots for vacant posts in Ealing Broadway, Hanger Hill and Hobbayne wards.

The Ealing Broadway seat was formerly held by Conservative Alexander Stafford, who was elected as an MP for Rother Valley in the 2019 General Election.

Mr Stafford, and former Hanger Hill councillor Joy Morrissey gave up their ward positions in April 2020.

Ms Morrissey was also elected as Conservative MP for Beaconsfield in the 2019 General Election.

Meanwhile, campaigning is also underway to replace late councillor Anna Tomlinson for Hobbayne ward, after she sadly died in June 2020.

Paying tribute to her last year, council leader Julian Bell said: "Anna was a joy to know, a really kind and gentle woman, and a good friend to all.

"Anna will be deeply missed by all of us who worked alongside her.

"She gave her time and experience to this community, which she loved."
