Local elections 2022: Labour take Barnet council from Tories

  • 2 years ago
Labour has taken control of Barnet council from the Conservatives in a historic local elections victory.

It comes as the party achieved a key win in Wandsworth, taking the south London borough from the Tories for the first time since 1978, and hopes of winning in Westminster.

Labour group leader Barry Rawlings said he was “a bit scared but basically very excited”.

He told LondonWorld: “There’s big changes people have asked us to make in Barnet and implementing that should be fun, it should be enjoyable.
