St. Leonard's

Welcome to the St Leonards micro site. In this section you can find out about our ward action team and see the latest campaign news for St Leonards.

St Leonard’s  ward lies in the centre of Streatham.  It takes its name from the parish church that still sits in the heart of the old Streatham village. The ward stretches along the High Road from Drewstead Road in the north to Greyhound Lane in the south. It is well connected to the centre of London, with three railway stations, Streatham Hill, Streatham and Streatham Common and many bus routes.  There is a wide variety of housing offering good value accommodation.

The busy High Road is lined with every type of shop and restaurant including the latest development known as the Streatham hub. This now houses a new ice rink, a swimming pool, a gym and a large supermarket as well as adjoining housing. This has created employment and housing within the ward and has improved the look of Streatham as you first approach from the south.

There are two primary schools and one independent secondary school in the ward, also some nursery schools.  There are several churches of differing denominations, a synagogue and a mosque. Streatham police station is situated in the ward, also the Spires centre – a refuge for the homeless.

Streatham Green and easy access to Streatham and Tooting Commons offer some open green space for families, dog walkers and joggers.

St Leonard’s ward Conservative group is headed up by Wendy Newall.

Wendy has lived in St Leonard’s ward for 26 years. She has been an active member of Streatham Conservatives for over 20 years, working on general, local, mayoral and European elections. She stood as a candidate in St Leonard’s ward in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 Lambeth council elections.

She has been involved in several local campaigns dating back to STAR in the 1980’s and was a founding member of the Woodfields Residents Association in the early 1990’s. More recently she joined the campaign to rebuild the ice rink in Streatham.

Wendy is a member of the civilian committee at 50F Lambeth Air Training Cadets in Tulse Hill. She supports her local Neighbourhood Watch and attends the St Leonard’s Safer Neighbourhood meetings.

  • Promote local small businesses and grow the local economy, particularly along the High Road

  • Campaign for more primary school places for local children

  • Encourage investment and regeneration in the area
