Liberal Democrat National Campaigns Officer Duncan Borrowman - who lives here in Bromley Borough said: "The Lib Dem success, and the total failure of David Cameron to reverse Conservative fortunes is a pointer to massive advances by the Lib Dems in Bromley Council Elections in May."

Lib Dem Council Group leader Cllr David McBride added: "The seat is Gordon Brown's backyard - he even lives in it. Families who have supported Labour for generations are telling Tony Blair and Gordon Brown that they want a change."
