Great to be out campaigning to explain why @OttoJacobsson should be elected to residents. Trinity Ward @TootingCons deserves a committed hardworking councillor. @TeamLondonUK

👮‍♀️Right now, too many residents don't feel safe. Lack of visible policing is a key factor. Police numbers have been cut by Sadiq Khan over the years, leaving just 75 officers to cover the entire borough. That’s not enough to keep our streets, homes, and families protected.

Crime and anti-social behaviour are rising in #Balham Town Centre — from phone theft to shoplifting — and too many residents feel less safe than they did just a few years ago. Conservatives will work with police and stand up for safer streets. Vote @Conservatives on 7 May @TeamLondonUK

The Labour Government expects @wandbc to raise council tax by more than 80% after the election. Last night, @WandswrthLabour confirmed they have no plan to close a budget gap equivalent to a 130%+ increase in tax. They are trying to take residents for fools.

St Mary Magdalene, Wandsworth Common, welcomed their new Vicar Rev’d Michael Johns-Perring. The Bishop of Kingston, Rt Rev’d Dr Martin Gainsborough, led the service. Wonderful to meet local clergy, faith leaders, friends, family and the SMM congregation.

Labour-run Wandsworth Council: ❌ £46,570 on 5 new Labour roles (£9,314 each) ❌ 5x more missed bins – dirtier streets ❌ Council Tax ↑ 3 yrs (BBC exposed “freeze” myth) ✅ Conservatives voted against the pay rise. @TeamLondonUK

🚍Thousands back G1 Bus Campaign🚍 There has been overwhelming support from local residents for our campaign to restore the G1 bus service to 4 an hour. The Wandsworth Conservatives team went to City Hall today to hand in the petition. It is time for the Mayor to listen.

Over the past 3 years, residents have contacted me about unsightly old @bt_uk phone boxes in #Balham & #ClaphamSouth. Some have been removed, but too many remain. I’ve raised this with the Council - they’re pressing BT, but powers are limited. I’ll keep pushing for updates. 📞🚫

🚫 I’m inundated by residents in #Balham asking why they can’t pay to park without a smartphone. Not everyone has one - and many worry about getting fined. Removing meters removes choice. We need inclusive, accessible options!

Out listening to residents in Balham today with these fantastic @Conservatives women. People are deeply concerned about rising crime and the impact of ongoing police budget pressures in London. It’s clear - we need to put safety first.

🚍 Residents in #Balham & #ClaphamSouth are fed up with reduced G1 services — for many, it’s the only bus. NHS staff, patients & locals face overcrowding and waits of up to 40 mins. Not good enough. ✍️ Sign our petition to restore services: wandsworthconservatives.co.u… #FourTheG1

It didn’t take long for e-scooters to scatter across pavements in #Balham and across #Wandsworth - despite the council setting up designated parking bays. @_LimeAID , residents deserve better!

🚍 Many #Balham and #ClaphamSouth residents depend on the G1 bus to reach St George’s Hospital. Service cuts mean longer waits and more uncertainty for those who need it most. @TfL, please review and restore a reliable, regular service. #SaveTheG1 #BalhamTransport

This is the damage left behind on Wandsworth Common after the recent funfair. This is exactly why we must hold the Labour-led Wandsworth Council to account. Say no to large-scale commercial events — protect our green spaces. 🌳🍃🌿@CEN_HQ

In PMQs on Wednesday I was so shocked by Keir Starmer’s lies and obfuscation I went through the record and found he told 25 porkies in only 30 minutes. A thread below, starting with the most glaring example. hansard.parliament.uk/common…

The Duchess Freehouse & Restaurant in #Fenstanton will keep its bar open, but sadly the kitchen is closing for good after Labour’s National Insurance hike. 🥀 Labour destroy businesses and jobs. It’s what they do. I was this pub only a few weeks ago 😢
