Addiscombe (ward)

Addiscombe (ward)

Addiscombe is a ward in the London Borough of Croydon, covering much of the Addiscombe and East Croydon areas of London in the United Kingdom. It extends from East Croydon railway station towards Woodside Green but does not actually cover the retail centre of Addiscombe, which is the neighbouring Ashburton ward.

The ward currently forms part of the Croydon Central constituency, which is one of the most marginal in the country, 75 votes separated the Conservatives and Labour.

The ward returns three councillors every four years to Croydon Council. At the London local elections 2006 Russell Jackson, Andrew Price, and Maria Garcia de la Huerta were elected to the council. All of them were running as Conservative Party candidates. A surprising result happened in 2006 when the Green Party candidate got more votes than the Liberal Democrat.
