Matthew Bennett, Jenny Brathwaite & Niranjan Francis are your locally elected Labour councillors for Gipsy Hill ward.

Let us know about local issues that you’re concerned about or changes that you want to see in your area. We work very closely with our local Member of Parliament, Tessa Jowell and with Val Shawcross, our member of the London Assembly .
We hold four drop-in advice surgeries a month, no appointment is necessary and we will do whatever we can to help you.
