Welcome to our Web-site in our 65th year

 

The City of London is divided into 25 wards, each with an elected Alderman and, on average, four elected Common Councilmen.  I have been proud to represent Lime Street Ward since I was first elected in 2001.

For many years, the Ward Clubs have been the interface between the City of London Corporation and the electors. Our Ward Club covers two wards, Lime Street and Cornhill, and I am proud to have been President of the Lime Street Ward Club, which celebrates its 65th birthday on 17th January, since 2002. Sir David Howard BT, also a former Lord Mayor, is the Vice President and the elected Alderman for Cornhill.

The Ward Club is a great supporter of the City Civic - the Corporation, the Mayoralty, the Livery Companies and all that goes with it - the Lord Mayor's Show, the Red Cross Market at Guildhall, St John Ambulance. The Ward Club is also a most enjoyable social club that holds many events - outings, dinners and activities that are not normally available to the general public.

I hope that you will find this website useful and that you will enjoy finding out more about Wards in the City of London, Ward Clubs, especially Lime Street Ward, and the functioning of our great City.

We are very proud of the City of London and of what it has achieved over centuries. As the world's prime international financial centre there is much to be proud of and uphold. We firmly believe in supporting the City of London, in both its civic and social roles, and some highly deserving charities, which are described on this site.

I hope you will return to the site often to see what it going on that might interest you.

Alderman Sir John Stuttard

What is new ?

We are 66 years old. On Jan 17th 1946 the first meeting of our Club was convened. We have started working through the Archives to give a flavour of the workings and events that were held in these early years - please see particularly Events and some of the earlier years. Copies of one or two interesting items are gradually being put on display.

A New Alderman ?
Our President Sir John Stuttard will be retiring in May. This will mean that it is likely that an election will be called subsequently. 

4 Common Councilmen
Following the Ward boundary changes and completion of various iconic new buildings, Lime Street will be allocated 4 CCs as compared to the current 3.
