# Goodmayes (ward)

Goodmayes is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Redbridge. It is based on the Goodmayes area of Ilford. The ward has existed since the creation of the borough on 1 April 1965 and was first used in the 1964 elections. It returns councillors to Redbridge London Borough Council.
The ward has almost always returned Labour councillors, the only exception being 1968 when one Conservative councillor was elected alongside two Labour ones. (The 1968 London local elections were especially bad for Labour.)

## Redbridge council elections since 2018

There was a revision of ward boundaries in Redbridge in 2018. Goodmayes gained territory between High Road and the London–Shenfield railway line to the north that had been part of the Seven Kings ward.
