Which ward is Georgia Gould hoping to win on July 4th 2024?

Martin Francis said...

Hi Trevor. The whole parliamentary constituency consisting of 9 Westminster wards and three Brent wards.

Trevor Ellis said...

OK,
Thanks for clarifying that point Martin.
By the way, what do you believe her chances of success are?

I just took a look at the link (much appreciated Martin)
and I must say the predicted successful outcome for Labour is looking hopeful.

I was reading a Ham and High article which said that new QP and MV constituency is effectively still old North Westminster constituency boundaries- depressing stuff. A bit like how the press claims that new Old Oak HS2 station is not inner London sited, thereby denying that the HS2 tunnel to Euston costing taxpayer extra billions is a tunnel from inner London to inner London. Is there really no other priority? Is there really no Harlesden?

A minor correction. Harlesden and Kensal Green ward was not formerly part of the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, Brondesbury Park ward was the other Brent ward which was part of H & K. Just to add to the confusion, Brondesbury Park is now part of Brent East.

Martin Francis said...

Thanks Pete. Edited to avoid confusion with just the current situation.

Hopefully not!

Would any of the QP and MV constituency candidates back strongest protecting and investing in 2ha South Kilburn Park, the SK tall building zone only park open 24/7 that is shared use with Maida Hill, Britain's most densely populated neighbourhood according to census data.

Protect parks where car-free housing population growth is zoned as a new public health, community and resilience building policy idea.

The Camden New Journal this week has a picture of Karen Buck "baton-passing" her Westminster North safe constituency (that doesn't exist anymore) to Georgia Gould.

The only problem here is that Karen's constituency no longer exists with Brent Harlesden, Kilburn, Queens Park and Kensal Rise wards meant to be included in the baton passing and with Abbey Road, Bayswater, Lancaster Gate and Regents Park wards no longer being baton passed.

South Brent seamlessly integrating and connecting with inner London opportunities, urban quality and economic wealth is the MP's main challenge. South Kilburn, the borough boundary with Westminster is made of hanging flower baskets, lets hope the new MP is able to see their constituents who live on the other side of those hanging baskets.

Press signals are not good, and South Kilburn has been here before with Tulip of Camden.

Isn't Georgia a m8 of Towerblock and Akehurst?

What are you saying? It seems interesting but I don’t understand. Are you saying that the seat is up for change?
