Some of the powers are shared with the Greater London Authority, which also manages passenger transport, police and fire. [2]

Local political parties

Longthornton and Tamworth Residents Association

Longthornton and Tamworth Residents Association

Longthornton and Tamworth Residents Association is a residents association in the Longthornton area, which lies in the triangle between Pollards Hill, Streatham Vale and Mitcham Eastfields. [6] Between 1964 and 1994, LTRA contested elections in Merton, initially in the Mitcham Central ward. After the borough's wards were redrawn in 1978 and the Mitcham Central ward abolished, the LTRA contested elections in the Longthornton ward. [7]

LTRA won between three and four seats in the elections between 1964 and 1978. [8] At the 1982 election, it was defeated by the Conservatives, who took all three seats in Longthornton. [9] It subsequently regained a seat at a by-election in March 1984 and retook all three seats in the 1986 election. [10] At the 1994 election, LTRA lost two seats to Labour. This was the last election that was contested by LTRA. By the time of the 1998 election, its last councillor no longer sat for the party. [7] [11] [12]

Merton Park Ward Residents Association is a residents association in the Merton Park ward. The MPWRA has two councillors on Merton London Borough Council, and for this purpose is registered as the political party Merton Park Ward Independent Residents. [13]

The MPWRA was formed in 1989 in order to contest a by-election that October in the Merton Park ward, caused by the resignation of a Conservative councillor. The MPWRA opposed the proposed extension of the A24 relief road across a corner of the Merton Park Conservation Area, which required the demolition of several Victorian houses. [13] [14] At the by-election, Bridget Smith was elected for the MPWRA; this hung the council. [14] In the following year's local elections, the MPWRA gained all three council seats of the Merton Park ward, becoming the third-largest party on the council. [13] The A24 relief road was not extended. [14]

The MPWRA held every seat in the ward in all subsequent elections, although the number of seats for the ward was reduced to two ahead of the 2022 elections. [1] After the 2010 elections, the MPWRA provided support for a minority Labour administration until Labour regained a majority at the 2014 elections. [15] [16] Following seat gains for the Liberal Democrats on other wards at the 2018 elections, the MPWRA became the fourth-largest party on the council. [17]

Since its founding, the MPWRA has campaigned for the redevelopment of Nelson Hospital and the regeneration of Morden's town centre. [14] The MPWRA publishes a quarterly local publication known as Forum. [14]
