BBC Radio Kent - Dominic King, Local election results in the Kent, Sussex and Surrey

Dominic King has a round up of election results in Kent, Sussex and Surrey.

Dom hears how Labour takes control of Gravesham Council from the Conservatives and how Liberal Democrats lose seats on councils in Sussex. Also, Dom gets analysis from Professor of Politics Tim Bale.

Dominic King hears from Labour leader Ed Miliband as he visits Gravesend to celebrate his party's gain of control of Gravesham Borough Council from the Conservatives.

Dom crosses live to the count in Lewes where Liberal Democrats lose control of the local council. He also hears how Lib Dems hold on to Eastbourne council but with a reduced majority.

Dom discusses the local election results in the south east with Norman Baker, Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes, Damian Green, Conservative MP for Ashford in Kent, Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavillion and leader of the Green Party and Paul Clark, former Labour MP for Gillingham and Rainham.

Plus, Dom gets analysis from Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at the University of Sussex, Sir Robert Worcester, founder of the opinion pollsters MORI (now Ipsos MORI) and our Political Editor Louise Stewart. 

Drivetime across the South East is a six-month pilot from BBC Radio Kent, BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey. For Listen Live on the iPlayer, you will hear the programme with local bulletins for each county. If you listen on the iPlayer on Listen Again, you will hear the whole programme but with Kent news bulletins only. This pilot is being assessed by the BBC Trust and the BBC will be carrying out audience research to decide whether the pilot continues. Any permanent change would require full Trust approval.
