By-Election For Dormer Wells

Voting for new councillor following death of Tej Ram Bagha

Ealing residents will be going to the polls next month in a by- election in the Dormers Wells ward.

It has been triggered by the sad news last month of the passing of Councillor Tej Ram Bagha, ward councillor and a former mayor of Ealing.  

Councillor Bagha was first elected as a councillor in 1994 and became the 50th mayor of Ealing in 2014.  He lived in the borough for more than 50 years.
