Reform UK takes control of Havering in London breakthrough

By Nathanael Lawrence

Reform UK has taken control of Havering Council, marking the party’s first council victory in London.

With 40 of 55 seats declared, Reform has won 30 councillors passing the 28 seats needed for a majority. The result puts the party ahead of the resident’s association, which had 8 seats, while Labour and the Conservatives had none.

This marks a significant gain for reform as the party continues to make advances in the Local election.
