REVEALED: Southwark ranked among worst performing councils in England⬇️

303rd out of 318 councils👎

Hopefully this shameful ranking forces Southwark Labour to do better for residents🥀

There are 6,000 police in London who are trained but stuck in the back office doing administrative jobs.

We can tackle sexual offences and other serious crimes by supporting these officers to get back onto the frontline.

My top priority is to fix the Met:

(1) 🧵 INDEPENDENT TRADERS AT CASTLE SQUARE THREATENED WITH LEGAL ACTION BY LANDLORD/DEVELOPER Get Living

If pursued traders will most likely be forced to close their businesses. A far cry from the 'opportunity to grow' promised by developers & Southwark Council

Yesterday evening I spoke at Southwark’s Planning Committee about the 18 Blackfriars Road application.

I welcomed the 104 new social homes, green spaces & public amenities.

Pleased to have got Hines the developer to set up a public liaison group to help with the construction.

How's the 'regeneration' of The Elephant going?

1) Marson Place, Elephant Park (built on Heygate Est): L&Q Housing Association raises service charge by 38% to £469 a month

2) L&Q Arch St flats still empty 5 years after all tenants were moved out due to fire safety issues

Good to start the day talking to commuters in Southwark.

Lots of people telling me that they are fed up with they Mayor, and voting London Liberal Democrats

Fantastic reception in Bermondsey this evening, with lots of recognition of the hard work by local Southwark Lib Dems councillors.

Thanks very much to the hundreds of Mums For Lungs supporters who have sent me postcards.

As a long time campaigner for cleaner air, I'm delighted to see this campaign.

I had my neck broken in an attempted mugging - and I got lucky surviving. Too many people don't.

My top priority will be to fix the Met, getting police solving serious crimes like sexual offences, where the Mayor's record is pitiful.
