abstract	Frank Geere Howard (c. 1861 - 14 July 1935) was a civil engineer and local politician in the Hampstead area. In December 1879 Howard qualified as a civil engineer, establishing a practice in Cricklewood. Howard was a long-term member of Hampstead Borough Council, and served as Mayor of Hampstead on three occasions: from 1921–22, 1923–24 and 1924-25. He remained a member of the borough council until his death, latterly as an alderman and chairman of the housing committee. In March 1926 there was a casual vacancy in the representation of Hampstead on the London County Council, and he was elected unopposed to fill the seat. Although Hampstead Borough Council was officially "non-political", being controlled by a Municipal Electors Association, Howard took his county council seat as a member of the Municipal Reform Party, allied to the parliamentary Conservatives. He held the seat at the county council elections in 1928 and 1931, stepping down in 1934. Howard was credited with the protection of some of Hampstead's most famous amenities: in 1921 he stood guarantor for the fund raising activities that allowed Keats' House to be purchased and preserved by the borough council. In 1922-25 he led the process whereby the county council acquired Kenwood and the Paddock, adding them to the public open spaces of Hampstead Heath.
