Welcome to the Streatham Hill micro site. In this section you can find out about our ward action team and see the latest campaign news for Streatham Hill.
Streatham Hill Ward has 6,230 homes. The northern border of the ward starts at the junction of Streatham Place and Atkins Road and goes along the A205 along Christchurch Road to the junction with Norwood Road. It then follows the railway line westwards, momentarily deviating around Mount Nod Road and Hailsham Avenue, before it eventually meets Rastell Avenue. Here it turns northwards, along Emmanuel Road and New Park Road until the junction again with Streatham Place. The ward is dominated by Leigham Court and Palace Road Estates, but also contains Claremont Estate. Outside of the estates, there is a high proportion of rented dwellings in converted houses.
The population of the ward is growing and by the local elections in May 2002, there were 9,722 electors. The average age of residents is decreasing.
Places of note include Brixton Bus Garage, Gala Bingo and Streatham & Clapham High School.
There is an Adult Education Centre on Palace Road.
Your ward team is chaired by Phillip Henwood. Other key committee members are Ward Secretary Elaine Bailey, Mark Wallace and Daphne Seymour. We have an active local association and our members are regularly involved with the life of the ward as residents and local conservative politicians.

The ward is currently dominated on a council level by the Liberal Democrats. We believe that the ward would benefit from an injection of fresh conservatism which reflects the changing population and its aspirations. Our main aim is to secure Conservative councillors so that we can represent the ward effectively before Lambeth Council.
Our Priorities for the ward are:
- The redevelopment of the Caesars/ Mega Bowl site – planning permission was granted in 2010 and continued delay impacts negatively on the area and suppresses the opportunity for jobs
- Tackling crime and anti social behaviour
- Protecting and enhancing the environment
