The candidates for the election of our ward councillors have been published here on the Lambeth website.
We are holding three public meetings (‘hustings’), one for each of the following wards: West Dulwich, Knights Hill and Gipsy Hill, so you can hear the views of your potential new local councillors and their priorities, and ask them questions.

Why and when are the elections happening?
Our local councillors are elected every four years. The next election for local councillors will happen on Thursday 5 May 2022.
A councillor's primary role is to represent their ward and the people who live, work and study in it.
Councillors provide a bridge between the community and the council.
Any queries?
