Kentish Town - Political Representation

Political Representation

Kentish Town is part of the Holborn and St Pancras seat currently held by Labour's Frank Dobson. However, although considered traditional Labour heartland the area has often defied its demographic by resolutely maintaining a strong centrist vote. Kentish Town was an early base for the Social Democratic Party and in recent years the increasingly middle class population has returned large votes for the Green and Liberal Democrat parties. In May 2006 the Liberal Democrats won two of the three Council seats in Kentish Town, strengthening this hold by taking the final seat in a by-election in November of the same year. In the Council elections in May 2010, Labour regained all three Council seats.
