I saw Barbara Janke, leader of Bristol City Council, sitting nervously outside Clifton Library on Princess Victoria Street as the polling station there opened early this morning. She won 51% of the vote in 2007 last time her seat was contested with 1,402 votes, .

Will she hold on to her seat today? Her rivals in Clifton ward are Georgina Bavetta (Green), Rosemary Chamberlin (Labour), Jack Jeffrey (Trade Unionists and Socialists Against Cuts) and Charles Lucas (Conservative).
