The only ward in New Malden and Old Malden to be dominated by three Liberal Democrat councillors, including council leader Derek Osbourne.

The Conservatives will have their eye on this ward as the Lib Dem's lead is by no means unassailable.

Former mayor Don Jordan is standing down, but candidates this time include Green parliamentary hopeful Chris Walker and Caroline Bowis, wife of Tory MEP John Bowis.

The ward covers New Malden High Street, and has a high Korean population.
