Tories Retain Control of Wandsworth


Labour gain six seats overall including a gain in Earlsfield

The Conservatives have retained control of the London Borough of Wandsworth, winning 41 of the 60 seats contested.

Labour's 19 seats was a net gain of 6 including a win in Earlsfield. Labour held every gain they made in the 2010 elections.

Other gains were made by Labour in Queenstown Road, Bedford and Roehampton and Putney Heath wards. The improvement in their vote was mirrored across London where the party won control of neighbouring Councils, Merton and Hammersmith & Fulham.

The overall turnout in Wandsworth looks likely to be lower than 2010's 63 per cent.

The borough was the first to report their result in London with other areas opting not to hold the count overnight.
