Liberal Democrats have a plan to cut taxes, cut energy bills and save our high street. Jess Brown-Fuller MP
Teams out across Raynes Park yesterday knocking on hundreds of doors with Raynes Park Lib Dems & MP Paul Kohler🔶MP for Wimbledon - trees, speeding traffic, lack of street cleaning all raised locally. Often a simple shake of the head on the Labour Govt. Huge concern about the Mayor's Police station cuts
Merton doesn’t have a Women’s Health Strategy. Merton’s Local Health & Care Plan 2022–24 doesn’t mention women at all. Tonight, we’re asking Merton Labour & Merton Conservatives to back our plan to make women’s health a priority.
It’s shocking that uptake for free NHS Health Checks in Merton is barely half the London average. Councils have a responsibility for residents’ uptake. Tonight, we’re asking Merton Labour how this rate can be improved.
Merton is the only borough in South West London without a Breast Cancer Screening Centre. Tonight we’re asking Merton Labour what progress has been made on this delivering this, using funding allocated 3 years ago.
There is currently no Women's Health Hub serving any Primary Care Network in Merton. Tonight, we’re asking Merton Labour when women in our area will have the same access to specialist women’s health services as they do in other boroughs.
Tonight, we’re asking Merton Labour their thoughts on St George's and Union flags being hung on public property across the borough.
Tonight, we’re asking how Merton Labour are working with TfL to address District & Northern Line signal failures, and Northern Line noise & vibrations disrupting residents.
To cries of shame from the public gallery Merton Labour vote against proposals for a women’s health strategy. Once again Labour demonstrates complacency and a tin ear to improvements desperately needed for women and their health in our borough.
Merton is about to be left with no police front counters under the Mayor's cuts, after Merton Labour leadership failed to act until closures were already decided. Labour claim to care about policing, but their record tells a different story.
