Wimbledon & Merton Lib Dems🔶
@MertonLibDems
Merton's Liberal Democrats. The official opposition on Merton Council. Fighting for a fresh start for Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Merton Park, Mitcham and Morden.
The @LibDems are the antidote to Reform. Our statement from City Hall on the violence in Epping and reaction from Nigel Farage ⬇️
After hearing about the Met Police’s planned front counter closures at our local stations, I’ve joined Lib Dem colleagues in SW London in writing to Home Secretary @YvetteCooperMP & the Met Commissioner to raise our concerns.
The UK should be leading on this, not falling behind. Recognise the independent state of Palestine now and take the lead on securing a two-state solution and a lasting peace.
France will recognise Palestinian state, Macron says bbc.in/45loICQ
How can we face the horror. The international community must take action to stop what is happening in Gaza - Britain needs to play its part
221 MPs, from 9 parties, have sent a joint letter to the Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary urging them to recognise Palestine as a state now
Let’s go, Lionesses! 🦁🏴 A win tonight will make history. Retaining the Euros title will be one of our country's greatest sporting achievements. If England win, the Prime Minister should honour it with a bank holiday so fans can celebrate! 🎉
The @Lionesses have made us proud every step of the way. If they become back-to-back champions, the Prime Minister should declare a bank holiday to honour what would be a stunning achievement 🦁🏴

A great initiative, implemented because of a Lib Dem proposal in 2023 (Mobile skips or pop up waste collections will be piloted in the borough share.google/n2V46T7N92N8GA… )
A fun time was had by all at Garth Road on the road #RaynesPark
The UK should recognise the independent state of Palestine now and take the lead on securing a two-state solution and a lasting peace. @EdwardJDavey
Just fyi - Holland *Garden* (you know, the one in our borough) is this way: maps.app.goo.gl/r7Ey9YNPSbRQ1L…

Thanks to my Lib Deb colleague Cllr @tonyreiss_uk for reporting this today. We are awaiting updates and will keep residents informed of any developments. I’m already meeting the @EnvAgency next week to discuss previous spills into the Wandle & will raise this with them then.
It’s unacceptable that learners ready to pass can’t access a local driving test. I’ve joined colleagues in asking for an update from @LilianGreenwood on how the Government are delivering on fixing the broken booking system & who is accountable if targets aren’t met.
Important resident meeting today about the Motspur Park Gas Holders development. We raised many concerns including access to the park, security and the height of the buildings.
It's not your party (and you'll cry if you want to?)
It’s not called Your Party!
Liberal Democrats will not stop campaigning until these failing water companies are held properly to account.
Whether it is sky-high bills or the destruction of our natural environment, it’s time these failing water companies were held properly to account.
"Our government has been saying for too long that if Israel doesn't act, there will be action. Israel has repeatedly not acted." @CalumMillerLD
Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.

The Met's plans to close half the remaining police 'front counters' completely, including in Wimbledon & Mitcham, are deeply worrying. These are vital contact points. Their loss is part of a wider erosion of visible, trusted, community-based policing. mertonlibdems.org.uk/news/article/w…
