The area of the Square Mile is divided into 25 wards each of
which are represented by a number of Members. Allocation
of Members is determined by the size of the electorate and
comprises one Alderman, with the remaining allocation made up by
Common Councilmen.
The City of London gave a number of parliamentary undertakings
to secure wider electoral reform than was provided for in
the City of London (Ward Elections) Act, the legislation
promoted by the City of London Corporation to change the City's
electoral system. These included a commitment to review the
boundaries of the four residential wards to preserve the
residential character of those wards and a further pledge to review
the boundaries of the remaining wards.
A ward boundary review was undertaken in 2003, and as part of
that process the City of London carried out a reduction in the
number of Members. A further boundary review was undertaken in
2010, as a result of which the area of Vintry Ward was slightly
enlarged to the north west. Please click

Vintry Ward has one Alderman, Dr Andrew Parmley, and two Common
Councilmen, William Fraser and Tom Hoffman.
