A by-election is scheduled for July 24 in the Bromley Common and Holwood ward, prompted by the death of Cllr Jonathan Laidlaw. Elected on May 6, 2022, Cllr Laidlaw served on various committees. Five candidates are standing, including Reform UK's Alan Cook, who focuses on cutting council waste, demanding transparency, and protecting local communities. Cook advocates for detaching Bromley from the GLA. Also running is Green Party candidate Ruth Fabricant, who campaigns against cuts to public services and advocates for safer school environments.
"If elected, I have promised I will fight to cut waste and demand council transparency, protect local communities from crime, prevent development on the green belt and be a strong, unrelenting voice for residents."
"Sharing residents' concerns, I have campaigned against cuts to public services and petitioned to save public toilets, keep the fox hunting ban and install 20mph speed limits outside all Bromley schools and places of need."
