It is a London borough council, one of 32 in London, the United Kingdom capital. Richmond upon Thames is divided into 18 wards and elections for all Council seats in the borough are held every four years.[4] HistoryIn 1965, local government in London was reorganised under the London Government Act 1963. The Municipal Borough of Twickenham in Middlesex merged with the Municipal Borough of Richmond and the Municipal Borough of Barnes, both then in Surrey, to form the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, with new council offices at York House, Twickenham. The council was elected a year before the changes took effect on 1 April 1965. The London Government Act envisaged that the councils of the new London boroughs would share power with the Greater London Council (GLC). The GLC took responsibility for "wide area" services such as fire, ambulance, flood prevention, and refuse disposal and the borough councils were given responsibility for "personal" services such as social care, libraries, cemeteries and refuse collection. This arrangement lasted until 1986 when the GLC was abolished and borough councils gained responsibility for most local governmental services including highways, waste disposal and almost all urban planning decisions. When the Greater London Authority was created in 2000, it took some responsibility for highways and planning control from the London boroughs. However, Richmond upon Thames remains a most purposes authority that has more powers and functions than the Greater London Authority.[5] As an outer London borough council, Richmond upon Thames has been an education authority since 1965. Political compositionThe borough council was controlled by the Conservatives from its inception to 1983 when the Liberals and the SDP won control in a by-election. The Council was then led by David Williams until he stood down in favour of Serge Lourie in 2001. Between 2002 and 2006 the council was controlled by the Conservatives under Greater London Assembly member Tony Arbour. Between 2006 and 2010 the council reverted to the Liberal Democrats under the leadership of Serge Lourie. From 2010 to 2018 it was run by the Conservative Party, initially under Cllr Lord True and then (from 2017) led by Cllr Paul Hodgins. The Lib Dems, led by Cllr Gareth Roberts, won control of the council at the 2018 election. Notable current councillors
