• Jonathan Notley (Reform UK)
• Gareth James Shaw (Labour)

Voters are reminded that they must bring an accepted form of photo identification in order to vote. Accepted forms of ID include a passport or driving licence, with a full list available on the council website.

Ealing Council says a range of accessibility measures will be available at polling stations, including wheelchair ramps, low-level polling booths and large-print ballot papers. Additional equipment will also be provided to support deaf, blind and partially sighted voters.
