CathedralsTom Thanks to @cathedralsdavid for a well fought campaign. He's worked hard and done well (especially considering national Lib Dem implosion).

Possible recount in South Bermondsey #southwarkdecides very tight result
Former Lambeth Council leader Peter Truesdale has lost his seat in Waterloo after two decades
Congratulations to new Waterloo councillors @benkind @jenwrenmosley @kevindcraig of @BishopsLabour14 #lblresults
#LBLResults Bishop's Ward Waterloo - LABOUR GAIN all three seats from Lib Dems @BishopsLabour14
@Riverside_Nick are you going to change your twitter name?
@1queer1 But that might just be wishful thinking
@1queer1 There's a general buzz that suggests something will happen soon
@1queer1 no, genuine comment. The council events team have been involved this time.
#southwarkdecides UKIP look to have split the Tory vote in Riverside ward, meaning the Lib Dems are likely to hold on there.
We haven't had any results yet, but on the face of it this is the best organised, most slick #southwarkdecides count I've ever seen.
Amazing how many people vote for one Labour, one Lib Dem and one Tory in the local elections #southwarkdecides #indecisive
Bad news for Nick Clegg if his special advisor Matthew Hanney fails to get elected in Bishop's Ward (Waterloo)
Recount in Bishop's ward, Waterloo (Lambeth) - very tight result. #LBLResults
Some long-serving and hard-working councillors are likely to lose their seats today. #southwarkdecides #LBLResults
Our man in Lambeth says Bishop's ward could be split - maybe two Labour councillors and one Lib Dem. Awaiting possible recount.
@camberwellblog It was always going to be. General election last time distorted the usual patterns.
@sam_parham Several split wards likely. Southwark Lib Dems could lose more than half their councillors across the borough.
Looks like Southwark Labour will have a very good day, winning a number of council seats in Simon Hughes' constituency #southwarkdecides
In wards with one or two UKIP candidates a lot of voters split their three council votes between parties
jpmaytum Stupid error by #SE1 heritage protestors meant voters never saw on ballot papers why they were standing #southwarkdecides
Chatting to @SouthwarkLabour @swklibdems, all the signs are that SE1 political map will look v different by end of today #southwarkdecides
@1queer1 Mid afternoon onwards. Maybe a little earlier. Announced ward-by-ward.
#southwarkdecides Ballot papers have now been verified in all 21 Southwark wards and counting is under way
Votes are now being counted in 19 of Southwark's 21 wards #southwarkdecides
Turnout in Cathedrals ward 31.3 per cent #southwarkdecides
@paulhanrahan Timing: how long's a piece of string? Trickle of news all day. Not sure of rules re public access. @lb_southwark can advise.
@paulhanrahan The count is taking place at the council's Tooley Street offices. We will tweet the declarations live.
