Lib Dems win Whitefoot by-election

September 5, 2007 12:00 AM

Liberal Democrat candidate, Pete Pattisson, has won the Whitefoot ward by-election held on Thursday 13th September.

The result was:

  • Lib Dems: 986
  • Labour: 901
  • Conservatives: 536
  • Others: 236

Labour's failure to capture the seat will be an unexpected blow to the sitting Labour MP, Bridget Prentice, who could lose her parliamentary seat of Lewisham East at the next general election.

The Lib Dems are the largest opposition party in Lewisham with seventeen councillors.
