What on Earth is going on with the Tories? In my Bletchingley ward, they always used to have three councillors and are still in fact defending one seat. However, they only have two candidates when Labour and the Lib Dems have 3. Moreover, I have not had a single leaflet from them! The Lib Dems are working this ward hard. I have had loads of leaflets from them. It looks like Richard Fowler, who has stood every year for 20 years, will finally be elected. I am also quite surprised the residents group has only got one candidate. Nothing bad comes from LibDems working hard.

For the purposes of approximating the total local election votes across certain constituencies,
all the Tandridge wards are in the East Surrey constituency.
I shall use the "top vote" in multi-member wards.
A very wide tab in the spreadsheet - 13 "parties" plus Independents standing.

Back home from the count:
- Warlingham East is Ind x 1 (Jeremy Pursehouse) and LD x 2 on a recount - Portley is LD x 1 and Tory x 1 plus a Tory v Residents recount ongoing - Bletchingley is Ind x 1 (Helena Windsor, ex UKIP and ex Residents), Residents x 1 and recount ongoing LDem (Richard Fowler) v Tory
I'll do a proper write up tomorrow...

I see that the Lib Dems won that Bletchingley recount by 6 votes. Same margin got the Tories the final seat in Portley, and that your Warlingham East recount had 4 candidates within 12 votes. I think Tandridge has the best knife-edge contests I've seen anywhere today. Are you happy with how it all shook out here bigfatron?

So, a quick summary:
Overall the Residents alliance consolidated its hold on Tandridge district council.
Seat numbers and changes were: Residents 20 +1 Lib Dem 11 Tory 7 -2 Ind 5 +1
Behind this were a number of movements.
First, the erosion of the Tories across most of the District continues; they lost three more seats, one to the Lib Dems in Bletchingley (by 6 votes, as noted, ejecting a long-standing and locally popular councillor in favour of perennial Lib Dem candidate Richard Fowler), the second seat in Harestone to the Lib Dems also, and one to the Residents in Woldingham where the Tories took only 120 votes to the Residents' 477 in what is usually a rock-solid safe Tory seat. The Tories did gain a seat in Portley, but this was a result of the Lib Dems having insufficient candidates. Three of their seven remaining seats were only held due to under-nomination by the Lib Dems.
The Residents have started to move into the north of the district, fighting in a couple of Caterham seats with no success, but delivering a smashing victory in Woldingham as noted above.
A separate Independent Residents group in Whyteleafe took a seat off the Lib Dems in a very tough contest, helped by long-standing Lib Dem councillor David Lee standing down.
For the Lib Dems there was real disappointment in losing the second seat in Whyteleafe where we have been strong for years. We were also frustrated that we had all four existing councillors in the two Caterham Hill wards (Portley & Queens Park, and Westway) stand down, either through serious ill-health or moving away from the area, and one of their replacements also had to withdraw unexpectedly at the last minute, which left us with only three candidates for six seats across the two wards, but we were delighted that they came first in Portley and first and second in Westway, making these our top targets for next time around.
We were really pleased that Richard got home in Bletchingley after years of hard work, and hope to build on that breakthrough south of the M25 when the Residents' seat is up for re-election in 2027; the Independent there, Helena Windsor, is likely safe as along as she wants the seat!
Finally, holding on in Warlingham East in the face of a rather nasty campaign and strong localist challenge was a real achievement; we were still knocking up after 8pm and that effort got us over the line.
Overall, while our seat total is unchanged we have more targets for 2026/7 than we started with and our first seat south of the M25, which are both big steps forward.
