Labour candidates won every seat in Lewisham for a second time.
Labour fought off a Green threat in Brockley to retain all 54 seats across the south-east London borough – as in 2018.
Labour’s Damien Egan was re-elected mayor with an increased share of the vote. Mr Egan swept to victory with 58% of the vote – 4% higher than in the last election in 2018.
Green candidate Nick Humberstone beat Conservative candidate Caroline Attfield into third place.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Mr Egan said: “Thank you for everyone’s support and re-electing me as your mayor. It’s been a big team effort, thank you to everyone who’s given up their time to help. Looking forward to working for everyone in Lewisham. “
In Brockley, where the Greens had hoped to repeat their success in 2014, Labour took all three seats again.
Green candidate Deborah Le Cand-Hardwood, finished in fourth place with 1,153 votes – almost 800 votes less than the nearest Labour candidate.
Following the election success, high on Mr Egan’s priority list will be tackling Lewisham’s growing housing crisis. The borough has over 10,000 people waiting for a council home.
The results mean the Greens have now been without a councillor in Lewisham since 2018 when John Coughlin lost his seat.
The Lib Dems and Conservatives have failed to elect a councillor in the borough for over a decade.
