In the GLA spreadsheets 2004-21 the Postal Vote totals were given as an aggregate for each borough.
It's Hounslow who chose to add the postal votes to random wards when giving ward results of Parliamentary elections.

Is there any mechanism for boundary changes to the constituencies, or are they cast in stone? Presumably they have to be composed of entire boroughs, in which case I suppose there's very little scope for change anyway. The LGBCE has it within their terms of reference. They looked briefly at it in early 2020 but concluded "Only by varying the numbers of constituency or changing other requirements of the legislation did it appear possible to bring significant improvement to the [electoral] imbalances". So until someone changes how the Assembly is elected they are not inclined to alter them.

First result of the last council is a Labour hold in Pendlebury and Clifton.
MATTHEWS, Su (Labour Party) 1,341 GRANT, Angela May (The Conservative Party Candidate) 517 ALLEN, Kathleen Frances (Green Party) 330
Labour vote up 4% and Conservatives unchanged on 2023.

At the West Central count I asked and it seems they will provide borough level totals for each election, although it will need "two days" of calculating next week. As I think the other constituency counts used the same procedure, presumably that's the case across London.

This is in some ways an outstanding result. Although Warrington hasn't issued a s114 notice, it's been in very significant financial trouble over its extreme indebtedness; its external auditors issued a statutory recommendation a few years ago, and more recently it has been criticised for 'weaknesses' in its accounts. But unlike Woking, Thurrock, Croydon and Slough, the administration has been re-elected and with an increased majority.

Look forward to seeing the ward breakdowns for this seat, when London Elects publishes their spreadsheet. In particular I’d like to know where those Reform voters are based. I’m guessing a good proportion were from Feltham, Hanworth and Bedfont where the right usually gains traction. There will be no ward breakdowns.

If you pitched a novel with a character having something like Alan Amos's political career, the editor would suggest it was totally implausible and should be rewritten to be believable.

Conservatives are the largest party but this is one of those councils they used to completely dominate, often winning every ward.
Final tally is C 13, Lab 10, L Dem 7, GP 4, Ref UK 2. I can see a rainbow coalition of Labour, Lib Dem and Green might appeal?

Still waiting for the result from Swanage to see if the "not just saying the quiet bit out loud, but shouting very loudly about it" Conservative leaflet will work.

Elmbridge TOWNSEND Lisa Conservative Candidate - More Police, Safer Streets 15052 39.4% KENNEDY Paul Liberal Democrat 14411 37.7% COLEY Alex Foy Independent 4822 12.6% CHIN Kate Labour Party 3942 10.3% (I don't think the Elmbridge borough council election results, none of which had been declared by 6 pip emma, will look like this ....) Pity Epsom and Ewell isn't having elections this year, but it does say a great deal about the electoral appeal of the Residents' Associations in suburban north Surrey. Possible the rural east and south Surrey Residents' Associations may be slightly different.

Far fewer than the number who proudly voted for him 'cos he's a great guy who's been an effective Mayor.
