I'd like to thank all the people who voted for me.

TBH, I'm also still rather shell-shocked that John didn't. There seemed to be an unusual amount of papers where only one candidate had been voted for, and I can only assume a large turnout - including voters who don't usually vote in local elections and don't realise they have three votes - was the cause of that. And Alex received the second highest number of votes for any councillor in the borough (Chris Best was first).

I look forward to working constructively with Cllr Affiku on the issues which are of concern to local people, and am here for any residents of Forest Hill ward who want advice or help.

Best wishes and thank-you again
Philip
