Labour storms to victory in Lambeth

The Labour Party has won a dramatic victory in the local elections in Lambeth.

Labour has won 44 seats out of 63, a huge increase on last time.

In Prince's ward, Labour councillors Lorna Campbell, Mark Harrison and Steve Morgan won more than 2600 votes each, 1500 ahead of their nearest rivals.

And in neighbouring Oval ward Labour candidates Jane Edbrooke and Jack Hopkins caused a major upset by defeating the Lib Dems, who had held the ward since 1994. The Oval result came at 2:30am after a recount.

The Lib Dems only just held on in Bishops ward, and failed to gain seats in Vassall ward. Labour kept out the Tories in Clapham Town ward.

You can see all the results on Lambeth Council's website

Lorna, Mark and Steve would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who voted in Prince's ward.

The Council elections came a day after the general election results, in which Kate Hoey increased her majority in the Vauxhall constituency.

Candidate disgusted by ballot paper debacle


Labour candidate Mark Harrison has expressed his outrage at a mix up by Lambeth Council which resulted in 26 people being issued with the wrong ballot papers on Thursday morning.

A printing error meant ballot papers for Prince's ward instead listed candidates for a local election in Hackney.

Voters expressed their confusion to the presiding officer but were dismissed and told they had no choice but to cast their ballot. Only when candidate Mark Harrison went to vote and pointed out the ballot paper was wrong did the presiding officer act to sort out the situation.

The 26 people who cast invalid ballots were contacted by the Council and invited to cast their vote a second time.

Mark said 'I'm most angry that the presiding officer refused to listen to voters who told him there was a problem. Had my neighbour not alerted me to the problem within minutes many more people could have been disenfranchised. I will be making an official complaint about the conduct of this presiding officer, which disgraces Lambeth Council.'

Dan Cambers: I'm backing Lorna, Mark & Steve



The one thing councillors do which affects everybody is setting the Council Tax. Labour's frozen Council Tax for two years - and kept it low for four years - so I'll be voting for Lorna, Mark and Steve.
