I'll soon be publishing Oval and Bishops wards as soon as I've had a chance to find all of the photos. (I'm afraid I've had a nightmare with the formatting - it's a Blogger issue, sorry.)

As already noted by @SE11 (Cllr Mark Harrison), none of the Liberal Democrats are local. One of them lives in Streatham. I'm not impressed by that at all. How is a Streatham resident meant to be fully engaged with the issues that affect residents in Princes Ward? Perhaps there aren't any Lib Dems left in Princes ward... Are they admitting defeat already?
On a related note, why is Lorna Campbell standing in Princes Ward and not Bishop's Ward (where she lives)? Is there some historical reason for it?
I am quite impressed that the Green party managed to field two local candidates. I think many people would be more prepared to consider voting for a local candidate than a paper candidate, but it is tricky to know how to vote when there is so little information available about some of the candidates. Whilst everybody has a right to privacy, it's hard to know why to vote for somebody when they've not made public any information about their role locally.
Oooh, I forgot to add that Jason Cobb has done a great post on the candidates in the wider area.

Sandra Lawman represented Princes. She did some sterling work in kicking the Lambeth administration's backside over Housing Benefit problems and seeing cases through to resolution. I think that was when Capita were "managing" the service...
did she live in the area back then?
what has happened to John Roberts?
I've been reliably informed that John Roberts has taken up a voluntary work position overseas, so is not available to stand in this election.
Hi everybody, I have been lucky enough to secure voluntary internship in Asia at an educational and development centre, this includes teaching English to local school children. It was a tough decision to make having lived and volunteered in Princes ward for over 20 years. However its a once in a life time opportunity and Lambeth will always be here.
thanks for this - I can't find anywhere else with any info on these candidates
