But here, so that you don’t have to go to the trouble of digging out the Excel form and trying to compare the numbers, we have listed the voting for the three leading candidates for the London Assembly candidates – Steve O’Connell (Conservative), Louisa Woodley (Labour) and Abigail Lock (LibDems) – for each of Croydon’s wards.

There was also one addition “ward”, postal votes, which were given as a Croydon total, rather than allocated to the relevant wards.
- Postal votes: LibDems: 1717; Cons: 11802; Lab: 9136
CROYDON TOTALS: LibDems: 6631; Cons: 39181; Lab 39665
Points to remember:
- This was all off a 38 per cent turnout by the disillusioned electorate.
- This is the first time ever that Labour has out-polled the Conservatives across Croydon in the Assembly elections.
- The LibDem vote collapsed, the coalition government’s junior partners paying the price of having a taste of power.
- On the basis of these ward results, Croydon Council would be made up of 40 Labour councillors and 30 Conservatives.
