Bexley council elections (2018–present)

edit

The boundaries for Bexley wards were last redrawn in 2018. Currently, Crayford ward consists of Crayford and Barnes Cray. The ward is centered on the river Cray which enters from the south west at Hall Place gardens and exits the ward just before Crayford Marshes in the north east. Major local roads include Crayford Way, Perry Street (making up a portion of the north west boundary), Mayplace Road East extending the ward northwest in a panhandle connecting to Barnehurst, and the A206 (where Thames Road makes up a portion of the north east boundary) which exits the ward via Northend Road going to Erith. Gravel Hill (A220) forms the boundary in the southwest. From Crayford city centre, London Road and then Watling Street forms the route to Bexleyheath to the north west, Bourne Road (A223) forms the route to Old Bexley to the south west, and Crayford and then Dartford Road forms the route to Dartford, Kent to the east.

The population of the ward at the 2021 census was 16,281.
