Hanwell Broadway is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Ealing. The ward was first used in the 2022 elections and elects three councillors to Ealing London Borough Council.
Ward profile The ward stretches west to east along the Uxbridge Road from the River Brent to West Ealing, taking in the town centre of Hanwell and the northern side of West Ealing Broadway. The area was largely developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the majority of housing dating from this period, though the eastern part of the ward also contains the Green Man Lane estate, built during the 1970s and currently undergoing regeneration. The northern border of the ward follows the Great Western Main Line, with the Grade I-listed Wharncliffe Viaduct that carries the railway over the Brent Valley being a prominent local landmark.
Political history Since its creation in 2022, Hanwell Broadway has been a Green-Labour marginal ward, with the vote margin between the parties' closest candidates never exceeding 400 votes. In 2022, Labour won all three seats, though the Greens recorded their then-highest ever vote total in the borough in the ward, missing out on the final seat by 390 votes. In 2026 the Greens won all three seats, which was the first time the party won seats on Ealing Council.
The ward's predecessor, Elthorne, which existed from 1965 until 2022, was usually a safe Labour ward, electing Conservative councillors only in 1968, 2006, and in 2010 when it also elected a sole Liberal Democrat councillor. From 2014 until its abolition it was represented only by councillors from the Labour Party.
