Phil Creighton giving lots of hints that there could be seats switching hands in all directions.
And that that will be far from the only split ward.

Shinfield 2x Lab 1x Con
Last year's Lab candidate for Shinfield South tops the poll, followed by incumbent Shinfield North councillor Andrew Grey and the last year's Con candidate for Hawkedon Vishal Srinivasan. Con incumbent for Shinfield South Jackie Rance misses out on a seat by coming fourth.

Spencers Wood and Swallowfield 1x Lib Dem 2x Con
Shinfield South LD incumbent Catherine Glover tops the poll, followed by Shinfield South Con runner up from last year Dave Edmunds and Swallowfield Con incumbent Stuart Munro. LD Shinfield South councillor Chris Johnson finished 5th behind Con former councillor and highways exec Anthony Pollock.

Wescott 3x Lib Dem
First non-split ward, although only 26 votes between 3rd place LD and the top Con. Labour Leader Andy Croy finished 7th, behind all three Con but well above the other Lab candidates who were also beaten by the Green.

Evendons 3x Lib Dem
One of only 3 wards whose boundaries are completely unchanged, the others being Winnersh and Emmbrook. Also the first ward that wasn't close. Poll topped by LD Mark Ashwell, who was Con councillor for Evendons until 2018.

Winnersh 3x Lib Dem
Prue Bray some distance ahead of the others and all well clear of Con. I think she will be the longest continuously serving councillor after this election.

Loddon 3x Lab
I was very much expecting that to be split. Previously 3x Con but boundary changes means that the seat as it now is would probably have been a Lab gain last year.

Hillside 2x Con 1x LD
That was always likely to be split but I had been very much hoping it would be the other way around.

Bulmershe and Coronation 3x Con. Below that goes LD Lab LD Lab Grn Lab LD I'm assuming Bulmershe had very low turnout Labour's strength in the old Bulmershe and Whitegates seat was focused on the Whitegates side. And the Bulmershe part got split three ways - I'd guess a tad under half here, about a third into Loddon and the rest in South Lake

South Lake 2x LD 1x Con
Finchampstead 3x Con. Just 32 votes between bottom Tory and top LD
It's not confirmed yet but that's enough for me to call it as staying NOC. edit: wait, maybe I'm not so sure? I seem to be missing an undeclared ward somewhere. Thames, Barkham and Arborfield, Hawkedon, Maiden Erlegh and Whitegates, Emmbrook below and..?

The split sounds like the better explanation.

6 more, with 3 battleground wards to come that are fairly likely to be split and something I've apparently forgotten that we haven't had yet.

Hawkedon 2x Lib Dem 1x Con
The expected result, but I wasn't expecting the 2nd and 3rd Lib Dem to draw lots for the last seat!
