Is it me, or does EVERY single tweet by #LE2018 campaigners for every party in every council begin with the cliche “great reception” or “fantastic response” on the door.

Call me cynical bit someone’s lying to someone somewhere... 🤔

#Kingston postal votes will have begun arriving today. You should expect several knocks on your door over the next few days if you registered to vote by post for the Local Elections.

[Kingston Council @RBKingston]

Sorry everyone but due to technical difficulties we can’t broadcast tonight’s council meeting live. The audio recording will be available tomorrow morning on our website https://t.co/iwU3OElvJv

@KBLabour Any idea who voted against?

[Kingston Democracy @RBKDemocracy]

@MillsRyder @CoombeMonthlyEd You are partially right. If it had the unique reference number in the photo it would be against the rules, but I think that’s why he’s taken it from close up.

[Kingston Council @RBKingston]

Time's running out! If you've never registered or have recently moved house, you must register by MIDNIGHT TOMORROW! https://t.co/BBLk1IqrHf

[Kingston Council @RBKingston]

Are you ready for the #localelections on 3 May? Make sure you’re registered by 17 April or you’ll miss out! https://t.co/bzmmMjbYY3 #kingstonvotes #Got5

@RBKgreens @CoombeMonthlyEd Chessington will be interesting after the collapse of UKIP which did okay there last time round.

[Kingston Democracy @RBKDemocracy]

@RBKgreens @CoombeMonthlyEd Yes definitely, it’s not uncommon though. It can be a good indication of which seats parties feel are winnable. Phil Doyle is a good example of this. Conservatives have little chance in Grove/Norbiton so are trying Chessington.

Interesting tactics being used by the Lib Dem’s and Green Party in Richmond. Will it pay off? https://t.co/3nZQitBdkO

@HillCoombe @PoliticalPics Supposedly an unknown noxious substance was sent to a local resident in the mail.

[Kingston Democracy @RBKDemocracy]

It appears that the Coombe Hill Conservatives have blocked our account on Twitter... Why?!?

[Kingston Democracy @RBKDemocracy]

@positive4KT2PPA @RBKgreens If any ward in Kingston see a @RBKgreens candidate elected it will be Chessington North or Canbury. If the group work hard it is entirely realistic to possibly see their lead candidate in Chessington North Elected.

[Kingston Democracy @RBKDemocracy]

.@RBKgreens have previously not done too well in Kingston. It should be noted however that target ward campaigning has paid off very well in other London boroughs with a number of single greens elected across the capital. Will Kingston be seeing green on 3rd May? https://t.co/xsi4UmYfxN

#OneGreenMakesaDifference leaflets on their way..!!!!

The Surbiton Cllr chosen is Ian George. Is this because of fears the Conservatives are expecting to loose ground in Alexandra Ward?

[Kingston Democracy @RBKDemocracy]

#CoombeHill is traditionally a safe seat for Conservatives. However, it has been announced that Tory Member Helen Hilton has quit the party and she is standing as a @RBKIndependents candidate after @RBKConservative gave the seat to a current Councillor for Alexandra Ward.
