Good to have official confirmation that @Lambethgp have been lying by accusing @LambethLabour of cutting funding for libraries - @ZvikoChihoro and @Martin_Abrams need to apologise for lying love.lambeth.gov.uk/public-s…

The scenes at @Lambethgp now their own council has confirmed they’ve lied to residents about library cuts, in order to win a by-election. The chaos and incompetence continues… love.lambeth.gov.uk/public-s…

It’s been another busy month of advocating for residents, businesses and community groups right across Clapham Town! 🌹❤️

We’re particularly happy with one thing which might feel minor to some but does make a difference! We recently noticed that the zebra crossings had faded in a number of places across Old Town and we’re really pleased that these have now been repainted after reporting it.

There’s more to do in this area (inc the crossing near the Prince of Wales pub) but as ever, do get in touch if something needs sorting in your street.

A new chapter for London’s buses ❤️ I’m launching Buses for London with @TfL - the capital’s publicly owned bus company. Promise made, promise delivered ⬇️ standard.co.uk/news/london/s…

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a vibrant cultural scene our doorstep, with Omnibus doing so much to bring arts and theatre to everyone in our community through a range of outreach programmes.

Do pop by to see what performances and events are on and to make use of their lovely cafe bar with an amazing sun trap garden! ☕️☀️

In May, Lambeth Green Party made promises they are now breaking. They need to be honest with residents about that, rather than trying to push through record council tax hikes that nobody voted for. This must stop standard.co.uk/news/politics…

Help us save Kennington Skatepark 🛹 Six months ago, we saved Kenny, allocating over £550,000 to restore it. Now, the Lambeth Green administration are refusing to use this money on our much loved park. Petition and how can you can help on our website!

We're deeply sad to share the news of the passing of Councillor Annie Gallop, Councillor for Myatt's Fields ward and Mayor of Lambeth, 2021/2. Cllr Gallop was a longstanding and much-loved community representative. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and loved ones.

The ULEZ - now the world’s biggest clean air zone - was one of the toughest fights of my political life, but I have no regrets. Cleaning up our capital’s toxic air has changed young Londoners’ lives – and nothing could matter more than that. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @QMUL has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.
Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children. Read more: shorturl.at/Jx86o

Ten years ago, the introduction of London's first ever Night Tube changed nights out forever. That’s a decade of late nights and early starts, of airport trips, morning shifts - and staying out as long as you like. 67 million journeys and counting! 🚇
