Stephen Greenhalgh is Councillor for Town Ward in Hammersmith and Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham Council. He was voted by 8000 people as ConservativeHome's Local Hero of 2008.

Hammersmith & Fulham

Much credit for the Conservative resurgence in H&F has been attributed to his leadership, notable achievements of which include: cutting council tax by 3% two years in a row (see this light-hearted YouTube music video), improving service standards from a three star to a maximum four star official rating, and cracking down on crime with the only New York-style 24hrCouncil-funded police teams in the UK.

City Hall

In May 2008 Greenhalgh was appointed by Mayor Johnson to a panel overseeing an audit of City Hall finances.

Councils Innovation Unit

Soon afterwards he was also asked by Eric Pickles MP, Shadow Minister for Local Government, to head up a new Conservative Councils Innovation Unit that will "formulate a bold Conservative blueprint for local government".
