Southwark Labour

We spoke to lots of residents on Weston & Leathermarket streets tonight, helping with housing issues, safety, and discussing big local developments going on. Great to hear lots of supprt for @SouthwarkLabour 🌹

The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.

Labour councillors are investing in young people in London Bridge & West Bermondsey, as part of our £20 million investment in infrastructure across Southwark 🌹

We promised 1,000 more GPs this year. We've delivered double that. 2,000 new GPs hired — delivering millions more appointments and making sure the NHS is there for everyone, whenever they need it. Our Plan for Change in action.

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

Great campaigning session today in Dulwich Hill speaking to residents on Dunstans Rd 🌹

We're working to tackle the epidemic of domestic abuse and make women and girls safer.

New developments in Peckham must include enough social and affordable housing to meet local need. With 18,000 on Southwark’s waiting list and thousands of children in temporary accommodation, we need housing for the people who live here. I’ll keep fighting for that.

We welcome the Planning Committee’s decision to refuse the Aylesham application.

Out on the ⁦@SouthwarkLabour⁩ doorstep in Dulwich Village catching up with awesome residents along side awesome local councillors ⁦@margynewens⁩ & ⁦⁦⁦Richard Leeming #LabourWinningHere

Councillors @CassandraaBrown @MichaelSitu out tonight talking with residents on Stubbs Drive

We’re proud to have welcomed our 400th refugee family into the borough Last night Council Assembly passed a motion to champion this achievement and the work of community and volunteer groups in making Southwark a welcoming place for refugees from all walks of life.

This evening Cllr Mohamed Deen gave his maiden speech to speak from the heart in support of refugees, as we celebrate welcoming our 400th refugee family under the Refugee Resettlement Scheme - one year on from gaining Borough of Sanctuary status

Only Labour can be trusted to build new social rent homes. Last year more new social rent homes were built in Southwark than the three Lib Dem-run London councils built collectively over the last 10 years combined

The Labour government is delivering £11 million for green upgrades on council buildings across Southwark, including £9.5 million for heat pumps and new double glazing across our local leisure centres ☀️

Really pleased that the @ManorEstateTRA were able to raise issues w/ Pope House scaffolding & Tenda Rd new homes at Council Assembly tonight. I also had chance to speak about these longstanding issues & sincerely hope we see swift & accelerated action in the coming days & weeks.

Thanks to Labour’s planning policies, local councillors in London Bridge and West Bermondsey are investing £2.6 million in local infrastructure projects. From estates to parks to solar panels, we are delivering improvements hand in hand with our communities

Speaking to the themed motion, Cllr Natasha Ennin passionately outlines the work Southwark’s Labour council is doing with our communities, partner organisations and the police to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour in our borough

We would like to thank @RoadWorksMedia and the Burgess Park Crime Group for their inspirational community evidence at council assembly this evening on tackling crime and youth violence in our borough 👏
