Well - it was very close! Massive Lib Dem gains, but not quite enough to take control of Haringey Council - Labour majority cut to just three (30-27 - no other parties have any councillors) with Lib Dems making 11 gains.

We also topped the vote across the borough - adding up the top votes in each ward - and actually now have councillors in a majority of the wards in Haringey. So - very close! Best every Lib Dem result, including our first councillors in Tottenham, many in Wood Green etc.

Lib Dem highlights:

Alexandra - 3 Lib Dem holds - Dave Beacham, Wayne Hoban and Susan Oatway re-elected

Bounds Green - 2 Lib Dem gains - Ali Demirci and John Oakes

Crouch End - 3 Lib Dem holds - Ron Aitken and David Winskill re-elected, joined by Lyn Weber

Fortis Green - 3 Lib Dem holds - Matt Davies and Martin Newton re-elected, joined by Sara Beynon

Harringay - 2 Lib Dem gains - Karen Alexander and Carolyn Baker

Highgate - 3 Lib Dem holds - Bob Hare and Neil Williams re-elected, joined by Justin Portess

Hornsey - 3 Lib Dem gains - Robert Gorrie, Errol Reid and Monica Whyte elected

Muswell Hill - 3 Lib Dem holds - Jonathan Bloch and Gail Engert re-elected, joined by Sheila Rainger (who has taken over my old council seat)

Noel Park - 2 Lib Dem gains - Catherine Harris and Fiyaz Mughal elected

Stroud Green - 1 Lib Dem hold and 2 Lib Dem gains - Laura Edge re-elected and Ed Butcher and Richard Wilson elected

Congratulations and commiseration to all candidates and helpers - both those who made it and those who didn't, in all parties.

UPDATE: There are now further election result details on Haringey Council's website.
