V sorry not to have been re-elected as Labour Co-operative Councillor for #Deptford More sorry to lose my fellow councillors and friends Rosie and Dawn. We made a brilliant team and served our community to the best of our ability.
We can achieve so much when we have a Labour council working together with a Labour government. Vote Labour on Thursday May 7th 🌹
Ending no‑fault evictions in England is a major step forward — but it will only endure if it is actively defended. These protections must be locked in, strengthened, and never allowed to be rolled back. That's why you need to vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.
Who Ended No‑Fault Evictions? Labour Did
Ending no‑fault evictions in England is a major step forward — but it will only endure if it is actively defended. These protections must be locked in, strengthened, and never allowed to be rolled back. Labour has already shown what that leadership looks like: locally through strong landlord licensing and enforcement, and nationally through the abolition of Section 21. This is a party that delivers real change for renters, not empty promises.

Being a #Deptford Lewisham Labour councillor is about fighting for residents and not taking no for an answer. If you want that to continue,use your 3 votes to re-elect Dawn Atkinson, Rosie Parry and David Walker and vote for Amanda de Ryk @amandaderyk.bsky.social for Mayor @labouruk.bsky.social
Brilliant to watch @LondonMarathon from 8 Mile post in #Deptford Thanks to all the volunteers and @lewisham.gov.uk staff who made it possible
We replaced the boardwalk at Fordham Park Children’s Playground. As your #Deptford Councillors we used Community Infrastructure Funding to renovate this much-used local facility #Lewisham @labouruk.bsky.social
As your #Deptford Councillors we allocated Community Infrastructure Fund money to support the New Cross and Deptford Free Film Festival which starts today @deptfordlounge tickets from @thealbanyse8 We hope everyone enjoys!
We’re here at Deptford Lounge this morning 18 April and then next on Saturday 2 May. Last week we had residents raising issues about new Renters Rights, parking, business issues, repairs and more. Come and see us with your own issues, local concerns or just a chat. That’s what we’re here for!
37 years since Sultans of Swing got to Number 1. Every time I see this plaque on Crossfields Estate in #Deptford it gives me goosebumps #DireStraits
We’re here today, holding our surgery at Deptford Lounge, which was closed for Easter last weekend. Always working hard for #Deptford

We’re calling on residents across Ladywell Ward and the wider Lewisham community to stand together and oppose any planning application that would result in the Ravensbourne Arms never being able to…

New late-night youth clubs will mean more young people will be able to experience the great opportunities places like the TNG provide in Lewisham. Only possible due to @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social and his £30m investment.
Busy day across Crofton Park, Perry Vale and Sydenham. Lots of casework and good conversations.
Today the Labour Government is lifting over 8,000 children in Lewisham out of poverty by removing the two-child benefit cap. This is the difference a Labour Government working with a Labour Council and a Labour Mayor can make. Another step towards building a fairer, more equitable society.
My favourite Apollo programme fact. Pete Conrad - Apollo 12, the third person to ever walk on the moon - said as coming down the ladder: “Whoopee! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me”. Even better, he said this to win a $500 bet that NASA didn’t script stuff.
From today, over 16,000 children across Lewisham and Southwark will be lifted out of poverty. Labour has lifted the two child limit, and with our child poverty strategy, we will go further and lift even more children out of poverty.
Who owns your home matters. Housing co-ops put ownership and control in the hands of residents – not landlords. The law should support that. Add your name if you agree. party.coop/campaign/com...

Really pleased to see work on the walkway in Fordham Park Children’s playground by Childeric St is underway. As your councillors we awarded £30,000 of Community Infrastructure Funds to make this safe for local kids
Brilliant to hear Lewisham Council have been awarded £50,000 by The Veolia Environmental Trust to transform Friendly Gardens park in Deptford. From wildflower meadows to accessible paths and a wildlife pond, this will be a huge improvement for local access to nature. #TheLCF
Could Lewisham be the first Borough of Literature? I believe so & London Writers Centre is pushing to make it official. Get behind their campaign & attend an event happening in the constituency this week as part of Deptford Literature Festival. www.londonwriterscentre.org.uk/project/dept...
