It provides a good visual representation of the Green Party advance in North-East London on May 7th.

The Greens took control of Hackney and Waltham Forest and were just short of a majority in Haringey where they won 27 seats.

The purple on the bottom right-hand side represents Newham Independents who again performed strongly in an area that contains Wes Streeting’s Parliamentary seat, at the moment.

The reason why the Greens did so well in North East London is perhaps something for discussion in pubs and coffee shops. Meanwhile there remains a crisis of local services and the cost of living and the urgent requirement to oppose the hate spread by Reform and others on the far right.
