@stevewotton Thanks so much, the tables were right but the commentary had that error as you say. It's been corrected and noted. Fun fact: I had multiple passes through this article checking everything, and then added the Redhill W & Meadvale names on the last pass - classic process error.

@ReigateUK Thanks, you should check your names in Redhill West, I think you have them muddled with Earlswood.

A little bit later than I planned, but here's a round-up of results in Reigate & Banstead. steady.page/en/reigate-uk/…

The first Green candidate got 882 votes, not 880 as I wrote in the above. Apologies.

Reigate ward - Lib Dem winners Mark Johnston and Mike Robinson got 2,054 and 1, 878 respectively, against the Conservatives' 1835 and 1,493. The Greens were 880 and 834. Reform UK were 880 and 716. Independent Victor Lewanski got 778. Labour received 277 and 232.

📢 The results are in! All local counts for East Surrey Council elections are now complete. You can see a summary of the results on this graphic. Full details of newly elected councillors and count results can be found on the Future Surrey website ➡️ orlo.uk/yAIZF 1/2

That's all for now, I'll do a piece tomorrow on the wider East Surrey picture, and some analysis on what we've seen today. Thanks for reading.

So that's all East Surrey wards done, with staff clearing away tables. Just to circle back to the by-election in Earlswood & Whitebushes - won comfortably by the Greens' Robin Whitwell (1587) followed by UKIP on715. Others further back.

Reigate ward: the Lib Dems have won this. But the numbers were inaudible - to follow.

Earlswood and Reigate South: winners are the Greens' Neha Boghani (1,783) and Robin Whitwell (1,627). A reasonable lead over Reform UK (1,240 and 1,148). Conservatives were 842 and 795, Lib Dems and then Labour further back.

Nork & Tattenhams: Residents solidly won this with Peter Harp's 2,900 and Tim Snuggs' 2,549. Reform UK a distant second with 1,413 and 1,402. An unsurprising result for those familiar with the Residents' previous electoral success in the area.

Redhill West and Meadvale: winners were the Greens' Nick Abear (1482) Elly Heaton (1475). Lib Dems were 1,430 and 1,132 and Conservatives 1,143 and 947 so a real melee. Reform UK a little way behind and Labour more so.

Redhill East and North Earlswood: the Greens' Jonathan Essex (2798)and Stephen McKenna (2,39[1?])won by what may be fairly called a landslide. Mckenna's precise number is awaited because of loud cheering at the time of his result. No-one else got over 800.

Horley East ward offers our first split result. Victors are David Heaver for Reform UK (1625) and Barry Maguire for the Lib Dems (1,614). Other Reform UK, Lib Dems and Greens all reasonably close behind. Labour did not stand in this ward.

Horley West, Salfords & Sidlow - Lib Dems Andrew Stevens (1703) and Steve Wotton (1,839) win a close race over Reform UK's Andy Lynch (1,696) and William Stanway (1,536). Everyon else some way back from that.

A real Frank Spencer moment there where I dropped the pen, and lost the sheet. RBBC council staff helpful as ever in helping me find what I needed.

Banstead, Woodmansterne and Chipstead: Conservatives Lynne Fletcher (2475) and James King (2332) comfortably win over Reform UK (1440 and 1397). No-one else got over 700. So a Conservative - Reform contest.

Tadworth, Walton & Kingswood: Conservatives George Curry and Shelly Newton win. A reasonable margin (2213 and 2289 respectively) over next-placed Reform UK (1,657 and 1,425) . Independent Zelanie Cooper got 1,181.
