At Full Council this week I proposed a motion for a Banking Hub in Eltham. It was seconded by @racheltaggart5 and was passed unanimously. Now the hard work begins getting Link, Access to Cash and the banks on board. Let’s get to work! 💪
I asked this question at Full Council yesterday evening 23 July as I’ve been concerned about the work being carried out on the Middle Park estate and damages caused to property. See my question and Cabinet Members response.

It's important we all know what counts as #SexualHarassment, so that we can work together to speak up against perpetrators by reporting them it if we see it happening. Got information that could help protect those at risk from future harm and distress? Talk to @CrimestoppersUK.
Great turnout at Kidbrooke Pride this afternoon, even though it moved into the Community Centre due to the rain. Officers here from @Royal_Greenwich are providing advice on Community Safety and tackling LGBT+ and other forms of hate crime.

I am very pleased to join Charlton Hornfair Safer Neighbourhood Panel and Park Friends on a walk about meeting. There has been so much improvement in safety in the park over the last year. The panel is always looking for more residents to be involved.
