Would be nice to see something other than Labour, just to break up the domination, which is rarely a good thing for democracy. Although I don't think I could ever vote Tory myself...

Meanwhile, the Lewisham website declares:

"No Council by-elections until further notice
On Government advice, the Returning Officer will not be holding any Council by-elections until further notice. This is to support the country's response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic."
