VOTE counting has been held up in Greenwich by hold-ups in Bexley.

An announcement on the Eltham seat, where turnout is 67.2 per cent, is now not expected until around 6am.

The Greenwich and Woolwich seat will not be announced until around 5am.

Counting could not take place until all the ballot boxes were received at the London Soccerdome, Greenwich.

But postal votes for three wards in the Erith and Thamesmead constituency have only just arrived after being taken to Crook Log first to be verified.
