TfL is consulting on cuts to bus services in Southwark that will have a negative impact on many residents. It’s important you let them know your views on the plans and how it will affect you. Find out how your area will be affected, and how to respond: orlo.uk/cySU6

Great to be out talking to residents on Harold estate and Page's Walk this evening, and getting lots of support for Southwark Labour campaign against damaging bus cuts.

Bought a bag full of fresh vegetables sold by primary school students @boroughmarket. It was lovely to see these #youngmarketeers understanding and becoming part of our economy. @schoolfoodmatters Southwark Council

Yesterday Sunil Chopra and I were joined by Cabinet Member for Community Safety Dora Dixon-Fyle MBE to meet residents on Aylwin Estate, discussing steps taken to reduce crime & what more we can do to keep residents safe there.

A tranquil Borough High Street and London Bridge, c1546. By 1722 traffic on the bridge was so bad, the Lord Mayor attempted to control it and decreed traffic coming out of Southwark into the City should keep west on the Bridge and traffic coming out of the city should keep east.

Residents in London Bridge & West Bermondsey - as they are across Southwark - are angry at the proposed cuts to many bus services in the borough. Have your say on the plans here: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/busreview And make sure to sign our petition: change.org/p/save-southwa…

This week may be as hot as 40 degree celsius. I request you all to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary exposure to sun, drink lots of water, stay hydrated and take care of your loved ones.

Happy birthday Time & Talents 🥳 Fantastic to join the celebrations this afternoon and hear about all the great work the team and community are doing.

A fantastic day today at the Silverlock Hall TRA Fun Day. Lots of support for the Southwark Labour campaign to save our bus routes. You can still sign here change.org/p/save-southwa…

Yesterday Sunil Chopra, Emily Hickson and I went to speak to residents at One Tower Bridge about recent concerns over lack of play space for children, and what we can do to improve the situation through joint working between Southwark Council and City of London.

Freedom is in our minds and faith is in our hearts. Pride is in our soul and love for the nation is in our blood. Happy 75th Independence Day to all my Indian brothers and sisters. Jai hind!

Earlier this week, we celebrated Annual Fun Day at Bede House with young residents of the Borough and my friends Sunny and Cassandra Lewis. I really appreciate the initiatives taken by the Bede House to promote the welfare of children. Bede House

Today, We mourn the sudden demise of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II. She ruled the hearts of people and was widely admired for her leadership and kindness. My thoughts are with the family and with the people of the United Kingdom. Our Queen will always live in our hearts!

A Solemn Mass of thanksgiving for the Life and Service of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will take place in St George's Cathedral, Southwark this Sunday, 11th September 2022 at 12 noon. A dedicated place of prayer and remembrance is also located within the Cathedral at this time. All are welcome.

We have opened books of condolence across Southwark for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, including in our offices in Tooley Street where The Mayor of Southwark signed today. There are also three local places in the borough where you can lay flowers orlo.uk/KsFy3
