Charlie Davis has been unanimously elected as the new leader of the Greenwich Conservatives, stepping into the role after deputy leader Matt Hartley stepped down following a strong May election performance that boosted the party’s council seats from four to six. Davis, who’s served on the council since 2016 and previously held the deputy leadership, praised his colleagues for the trust and pledged to build on Hartley’s solid foundation. Hartley, who led for nine years, remains on the council as a backbencher and is confident in Davis’s ability to represent residents effectively. Luke Warren, newly elected in May, will take over as deputy leader. While the Tories made gains — especially in Eltham — Labour still holds overall control. Meanwhile, the Green Party surged from two to thirteen councillors, making them the official opposition under leader Tamasin Rhymes.
