The Ealing Green Party has launched what it describes as its most ambitious local election campaign to date, saying it will offer “real hope and change” as it stands a record number of candidates in every ward across the borough in the 7 May 2026 elections.
The party said it is fielding 54 candidates across all 24 wards in Ealing, up from 30 candidates in the 2022 local elections. Across the borough, 70 seats are being contested. Ealing Council, which has been run by Labour since 2010, is made up of 57 Labour councillors, alongside eight Liberal Democrats, four Conservatives and one independent.
Speaking to EALING.NEWS, Neil Reynolds, chair of Ealing Green Party, highlighted areas it has been active in over recent years. He said: “This promises to be an exciting and historic election for the Green party in Ealing and across London. Our candidates in Hanwell have fought to stop an unwanted slots casino and protect Warren Farm, and we have helped stop Labour’s cuts to children’s centres.
“We are offering real hope and change across the borough. We promise to listen and act. We understand residents’ disappointment with Labour — Greens will do politics differently and better.
“This election is about a fairer and more hopeful future for our borough. We can win across Ealing. We promise to conduct politics differently and better, because we listen and act in all residents’ interests. We believe that we can deliver that positive vision — one that puts people, communities, and the planet first.”
Mr Reynolds said the campaign reflects growing support locally and nationally. He said: “We are entering this campaign with strong national momentum and are encouraged by growing public support under Zack Polanski. Across the country, people are responding to a clear, hopeful vision for the future.”
He said the party’s platform includes proposals to increase funding for public services, funded in part through higher taxation on wealth, alongside measures aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Mr Reynolds added that local campaigning has focused on issues including protecting children’s centres and opposing development at Warren Farm.
He said: “On the doorstep, we are hearing from many voters who feel deeply disappointed. They haven’t left Labour — Labour has left them.”
