Cllr David Parton
@DavidParton_
@UKLabour and @CoopParty councillor for Peckham’s Rye Lane ward, @lb_southwark | 🌹🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇪🇺🚲
I’ve been a #RyeLane @SouthwarkLabour councillor for 1 year! It’s been a total privilege to serve residents, local businesses and our incredible community these last 12 months. Lots done, but there’s always more to do!




Come rain or shine, #RyeLane’s Labour councillors are working for residents. 🌧️☀️ Out in the pouring rain this morning delivering our latest newsletter. | @SouthwarkLabour 🌹

Out supporting @SouthwarkLabour colleagues in #StGiles ward this evening - #RyeLane’s neighbouring ward.

Good to join a community meeting tonight about Dr Harold Moody and Consort Parks in #RyeLane. Southwark Council has made significant investments in the parks, but it was good to hear more could still be done.

Rye Lane’s Labour councillors have always been clear: an offer of 12% affordable housing on the Aylesham site is an insult to our community. ❌ We will continue to work to get the best possible social housing allocation on the Aylesham site for Peckham. 🏡
We welcome the Planning Committee’s decision to refuse the Aylesham application.
Sunny door-knocking session in #DulwichVillage this morning in support of Cllrs @margynewens and Richard Leeming. Only @SouthwarkLabour can beat the Tories in Dulwich Village!

Great to attend the inaugural Peckham Neighbourhood meeting this evening at @CoplestonCentre in #RyeLane, expertly chaired by @MichaelSitu. Lots of residents joined to discuss their priorities for our area, alongside @esmedobson, @BarrieHargrove and @CleoSoanes | @lb_southwark


Great to attend the @LM_Westminster’s Civic Service at Westminster Abbey this morning. Important messages of civic and social responsibility championed by @PDimoldenberg.


The #RyeLane team were out delivering our councillor newsletter this morning - keep residents up to date with our work on their behalf. ✉️🌹| @SouthwarkLabour

Great #RyeLane Labour Branch Meeting this evening. Lots of important issues affecting the local area discussed and to be actioned. 🌹

Another residents’ surgery: ✅ It’s been a busy week, but it’s always good to be available to residents without appointment! 📅

Interesting drop-in session tonight at St John’s, East Dulwich about a proposal to turn an old industrial site between Fenwick and Gowlett Roads into family homes. 🏠



Great to welcome our Peckham MP @Miatsf back to Rye Lane on the @SouthwarkLabour doorstep - Good to catch up with our neighbours and the #RyeLaneMassive in the best ward in the best borough...
Just wrapped up my first Planning Committee (Smaller Applications) meeting tonight. ✅ We approved two schemes providing tangible benefits to our borough.

Tonight, @SouthwarkLabour decides. Watch this space for an imminent big update. 📰

Southwark Labour was out supporting #SouthwarkPride today in Mint Street Park. Southwark welcomes everyone, and we celebrate and stand with our LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Only Labour is serious about tackling the climate emergency in Southwark. 💪 If you're passionate about the environment and tackling climate change in Southwark, according to @ClimateEmergUK data, you're better off with a Labour council!👇 🌳
We’re proud to share that Southwark has been ranked 3rd in the UK for tackling the climate emergency. From planting over 100,000 trees 🌳 to free cycle training 🚲 community energy projects ☀️ we’re building a greener Southwark for all. Find out more here: orlo.uk/xJlCq
