Proud to see Merton Council's Cooking with Friends programme highlighted by the Local Government Association (LGA) for #CareLeaversWeek!

Thanks for sharing this report! Very proud to be part of the Kofi Annan Foundation’s LEiP initiative, working to empower young leaders and champion meaningful, ethical change. #Leadership #DemocracyInAction #KofiAnnanFoundation #YouthEmpowerment #AthensDemocracyForum

I feel so fortunate to have taken part in this programme and gained so much from it. Huge thanks to LGA Labour for organising such an insightful experience, and to the brilliant colleagues who joined me. I learnt as much from them as I did in the sessions! #NG18

Recently, I had the chance to #GiveBlood, and it reminded me just how important this simple act can be for those who need it most. We urgently need more donors, especially from Black and Asian communities, to help support blood stocks and save lives: blood.co.uk🩸

Merton Labour is helping 10,000 households with their Council Tax 🏡 We’re extending our support to families across Merton with one of the most generous Council Tax Support Schemes in the country.

There is a housing crisis in the UK, and we are determined to do our part in solving it. We're building the first new Council homes in Merton in a generation, making progress on the delivery of the first 93 genuinely affordable homes.

We are on a mission to become London's Borough of Sport🥇 We’re investing in sports pitches and infrastructure, and investing in local free and low cost activities, including free swimming for U16s and 65+🏊‍♀️

Merton Labour's budget will invest in our much loved parks and green spaces so they remain as some of the best green spaces in the entire country🌳🏞️

Everyone should be able to take pride in the place they live. That's why Merton Labour's budget will be funding improvements across the borough to breathe new life into our town centres, high streets, and shopping parades.

We've approved our budget for 2025/26 ✅ Protecting vital services ✅ Investing in the things that matter to you ✅ Keeping Council Tax lower than neighbouring Kingston, Richmond, Sutton and Croydon Find out more 👉 merton.gov.uk/council-tax-be…
