Following our Lewisham Council AGM in May when we officially took on our new roles, I'm delighted to introduce our new Scrutiny team, as Overview & Scrutiny kicks off this month in Lewisham. Meet the team, starting with me, Cllr Mark Ingleby ⚽🥅

We are delighted that one of our #HitherGreen councillors is taking on the role of Chair of Overview and Scrutiny. Mark's commitment to effecting practical changes to improve residents' lives is respected across the political divide. He will do a brilliant job!

Entelechy Arts: turning our George Green Hall into a space of greenery and general merriment!

London stands with the women of America, whose most basic rights and freedoms are threatened by this ruling. A dark day for a great country. #RoeVsWade bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…

Today's devastating Supreme Court decision is a massive setback for women's rights in the United States of America. The right of women to make their own decisions about their own bodies is a fundamental human right.

Solidarity with sisters and brothers in US who will fight for a woman’s right to choose. This is such a dismal and sinister day for the rights of women and healthcare in the US #RoeVWade #AbortionIsHealthcare #RoeVWadeprotest
