For the record, I have worked with the Lib Dem candidate where I live on a number of local issues and he's somebody I have a good opinion of.
Labour and Lib Dems both had mixed fortunes locally at the last local elections, but the high tide for the Conservatives of 2019 has long since passed.
The seat local to me that I expect is to be difficult for Labour is Rother Valley. An old coal mining area that swung heavily to the Tories in the late 2010's, with a Tory MP who's well regarded locally and with Tory councillors still holding their seats this year.
