Well its just gone 5:45 and Perry Vale polling station has seen 313 voters so far not a massive turnout!
Lets hope it picks up before 10pm.

That’s peculiar. I wonder about the implications of a low turnout on the result?
Are the usual Labour voters being too complacent maybe?
One can but hope! Being realistic I just hope we dent the majority to scare them (Labour)

Is there only one polling station for Perry Vale Ward? Last time out most councillors won with about 1,500 votes (I think).
Just have voted. I think will be more people coming to vote after work.
No there are 6 polling stations for Perry Vale. Although I live on Sunderland Road I can’t use the polling station in my road! I have to use the one at St Georges School on Perry Vale!
Same for me. I’d always used the school on Sunderland. First time at this polling station.
Please remember FH Library is a Polling Station for this side of the tracks.
Voting is important so please use your vote wisely!
Have to admit I didn’t place a Mayor vote for anyone as I didn’t have enough info that would make me choose one over another.
None stood out to me so I didn’t vote on this, I may regret my decision at a later date but couldn’t make a definite decision with the info I had on all.
I voted for Cllr’s that I think can make a difference in our area 
Lewisham isn’t expected to declare until 5pm on Friday. Time for bed then.

Very true. They should’ve just withdrawn from this election as there is no use to them now. Never understood what they were doing in local politics anyways.
Maybe UKIP councillor candidates are people too? People that care about their local areas just as much as Labour or Conservative councillor candidates?
I was referring to UKIP as a party. But you’re right again. As people UKIP candidates will not be pleased.
Also, we still are not out of Europe yet so not “Independent” and with some way to go it seems.

Conservatives take Barnet and hold Kensington and Chelsea and Wandsworth, but lose Richmond and are wiped out in Southwark.
