Lambeth Council has confirmed the details for both contests, with notices of election due to be published on Thursday 4th June. The nomination period runs from Friday 5th June to 4pm on Friday 12th June, and the deadline to register to vote is midnight on Tuesday 23rd June.
The Streatham St Leonard’s seat became vacant after Saiqa Ali declined to take her seat. In Clapham Park, Cllr Joanna Eaves resigned due to ill health shortly after becoming the ward’s first ever Green councillor.
The Greens currently hold 27 of the council’s 63 seats, with Labour on 26 and the Lib Dems on 8.
Two Green wins would take the party to 29 seats, strengthening leader Martin Abrams’s position at the new leader of Lambeth Council.
Two wins for Labour raise the possibly of Claire Holland returning as Lambeth’s Leader.
