“Zero Labour councillors were elected in Romford.”
Reasoning & Evidence21 Jul 2026
The Romford parliamentary constituency consists of 8 wards in the London Borough of Havering: Havering-atte-Bower, Hylands & Harrow Lodge, Marshalls & Rise Park, Mawneys, Rush Green & Crowlands, Squirrels Heath, St Alban's, and St Edward's. The official Havering Council election results page shows that every single ward within the Romford constituency is represented exclusively by Reform UK councillors, with all 23 seats across these 8 wards going to Reform UK. The only 2 Labour councillors elected anywhere in Havering (Trevor McKeever and Matthew Stanton) were in the Beam Park ward, which falls under the Dagenham and Rainham constituency, not Romford. This is corroborated by the BBC's election results page, which shows Labour won just 2 seats in total across all of Havering, and by the Beyond the Vote constituency profile, which confirms "Reform UK took the most-recent vote in every ward across the seat" for Romford. Therefore, zero Labour councillors were elected in any of the wards comprising the Romford constituency.

From speech
Q7. I wonder if the Prime Minister has had the chance to study the election results in Havering: zero Labour councillors were elected in Romford, zero Conservative councillors were elected across Havering for the first time since 1964 and it is the first Reform UK London borough. That shows people’s disillusionment with the political establishment. In his final days as Prime Minister, can he do something for the people of Romford and give us the accident and emergency unit at Queen’s hospital that the right hon. Member for Ilford North (Wes Streeting) said he would deliver, but failed to do?
