Greater London is made up of thirty-two London boroughs. These have been divided into wards since the county came into existence on 1 April 1965, first for elections a year earlier. Ward boundaries were revised in May 1978, May 1982, May 1994, May 2002 and May 2014. From 2014 the boroughs are divided into a total of 628 electoral wards that are used for the election of councillors to London borough councils. They are also used as a statistical output unit roughly analogous to a neighbourhood. The Metropolitan Police Service organises neighbourhood policing using wards and publishes crime statistics based on them. ==History== Wards were established for Greater London when it came into existence on 1 April 1965. The first elections of ward councillors took place in 1964. These boundaries were also used for the 1968, 1971 and 1974 elections. For the 1978 elections the ward boundaries were revised in every borough, except Enfield. The wards for Enfield were then revised at the 1982 election. These boundaries were then also used at the 1986 and 1990 elections. For the May 1994 elections there were a series of minor adjustments to London borough boundaries, the most significant of these caused a new ward of Becontree to be created in Barking and Dagenham and a new ward of Horsenden to be created in Ealing. The councillor allocations in some wards were also altered by the changes.〔(Alteration of Status of Local Authorities 1993-1994 )〕 These boundaries were also used at the 1998 elections. The 2002 boundaries followed a series of reviews and 32 statutory instruments.〔(Local Government Boundary Commission for England: A complete list of orders affecting Greater London from 1973 to the present )〕 From the May 2014 elections, changes took place to wards and these affected the number of councillors, such as in the London Boroughs of Hackney,〔(The Hackney (Electoral Changes) Order 2013 )〕 Kensington and Chelsea,〔(The Kensington and Chelsea (Electoral Changes) Order 2014 )〕 and Tower Hamlets.〔(The Tower Hamlets (Electoral Changes) Order 2013 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of electoral wards in Greater London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
