The results are in.

Huge thank you to everyone who voted for Jonathan Mitchell, Rosie Shimell and me. Some really lovely feedback on the doorsteps about how hard we’ve worked as a team. But only Rosie and I are still East Dulwich Lib Dem councillors. Terribly sad that Jonathan missed remaining a councillor by 44 votes.

Thank you to everyone who voted. The East Dulwich turnout of residents voting was 43.4% which means 4,053 residents came out and voted.

Also thank you to all the other candidates that stood and all the volunteers from all the parties for working so hard. Also the families who sacrifice family time to enable campaigning to take place.

But the election is over. Rosie and I are here for four more years to fight for East Dulwich residents and to make our part of the world even better. I’m hopeful when Jonathan has dusted himself down he’ll keep giving us his wise counsel. He will be sadly missed as an East Dulwich councillor.

We’ve committed to six big local things to fix – this wont be easy as lib Dems are still in opposition in Southwark:

1. Build two new schools to ensure enough great local school places.

2. New local Police base in East Dulwich..

3. New grove Vale library.

4. Cleaner streets.

5. New East Dulwich cinema.

6. Keep East Dulwich special – working to keep our precious indie shops.

But please tell us what you think needs fixing or improving locally?
