Welcome to Ealing Southall Lib Dems

New Southall constituency boundaries

This site has news and information about the Liberal Democrats in the Ealing Southall constituency.

Ealing Southall stretches from Southall, Norwood Green and Greenford in the west through Hanwell and Northfields to the Walpole, Ealing Broadway and Ealing Common wards of central Ealing.

At the 2005 General Election, the Liberal Democrats moved into a clear second place in Ealing Southall, which they maintained at the 2007 by-election, halving the Labour majority and causing serious national damage to the credibility of David Cameron's Conservatives.

At the next General Election, Walpole, Ealing Broadway and Ealing Common will become part of the new Ealing Central & Acton constituency.
