Congratulations to Sarah Olney on her victory and a much increased majority, with a 55% share of the total vote. And congratulations to the voters of the Richmond Park constituency with a turnout of 75% which must be one of the highest turnouts in the country, given the national average of 60%.

What are the implications of the change of government for Richmond Park? Affordable housing must be on the agenda, which will cause problems for the Council at the Planning Inquiry. What approach will a Labour Government have to a new academy, when local schools can provide space.

And will our new MP have anything to say to the Council about the views of her local constituents?
