An election expert has said that all eyes will be on Westminster City Council – where results balance on “a knife-edge” – at the upcoming local elections. The Central London council turned red at the 2022 local elections for the first time since the foundation of the modern city in 1964.
Tony Travers CBE is a Professor in Practice at London School of Economics whose key research lies in both local and national elections. He told the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme that Westminster will be one of the principal London boroughs to watch at the upcoming local elections.
