I don't have the full results for Perry Vale and other wards I'm afraid. Suffice to say, unless you live in Brockley (which has one Green and two Labour councillors) the winners in your ward were Labour and the make up of the council is now a Labour Mayor (Steve Bullock as previously), 53 Labour councillors and one Green.

As one of the Lib Dem candidates I'd like to thank all those who voted for us and made this actually one of the closer contests of the night (indeed Alex's tally was actually the highest Lib Dem vote of the night anywhere in Lewisham - a tribute to his personal achievements as councillor over the last eight years). I've already offered my congratulations and best wishes to Peter, Paul and Maya (wonder why I have 60s folk music going round my head?)

For our part we certainly won't be going away. The challenge of scrutinising the Labour mayor and council will just be that little bit more challenging being from outside the council chamber!

Best wishes
