We will be covering the results of the vote for Lewisham mayor on Friday, and the results of the councillor elections for each ward as they come in on Saturday.
In the absence of almost any hustings across Lewisham, we interviewed mayoral candidates from Lewisham's main parties in depth.
Questions came from our team and readers, and covered the housing crisis, Blackheath station carpark development, Vision Zero, Home Office immigration policies, and other areas.
The final question asks the candidates to respond to the National Emergency Briefing (NEB) for climate and nature.
We interviewed Josh Matthews for the Liberal Democrats, Sylbourne Sydial for the Conservative Party, Liam Shrivastava for the Green Party and Amanda De Ryk for the Labour Party.
We had arranged an in-person interview with independent Kayode Damali but unfortunately he cancelled.
