This is the difference that having Liberal Democrats on Southwark Council is making. Free school uniforms for those struggling. Helping make lives for families across our borough that bit easier during a cost of living crisis. Well done @southwarklibdems.bsky.social 👇🏻

Southwark’s Liberal Democrat and Green Joint Administration will distribute thousands of free school uniforms in Southwark to those who need it most, following a long-standing Liberal Democrat policy to do so. www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Meet Cllr David Watson 👋🏼 David has represented Borough & Bankside since 2022 and is now in charge of Community Safety and Engagement. His priorities: tackling crime and antisocial behaviour, and fixing residents' experience of the council after years of Labour failure.

Southwark Liberal Democrats are campaigning to save Southwark Bridge Road's vital Post Office. Please add your name to our petition to help safeguard this important community asset! Petition: www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/southwark-br...

Under @southwarklabour, crime and anti-social behaviour have spiralled out of control. Time and time again, residents tell us that safety is their number one concern. We will clean up Labour's mess and make Southwark safer for all

The clock is already ticking, Andy. The way we vote is (like so much else in our system) a Victorian relic. Almost every other country in the world has ditched it. With fair votes, we can have fairer, clearer and better informed debates on the most important issues - and get better solutions too.

The government says London needs 88,000 new homes a year. The Mayor of London is planning for just over 55,000 a year, meaning our city’s housing crisis is only set to get worse.

Today's formal executive approved the Joint Administration's ambitions for Southwark. We're bringing back community councils, tackling the housing crisis, fighting Labour's £102 million funding gap, supporting our high streets and opening one stop shops.

Congrats Cllr Hellen Benavides on chairing the first Housing Scrutiny Commission under Southwark’s new Joint Administration. The Commission scrutinised the Council’s Good Landlord Plan, helping ensure we continue improving housing services & delivering better outcomes for residents.

The truth matters. The decision on The Nest was taken before the election. We’re focused on supporting young people and fixing the £102m funding gap we inherited.

Today we remember the 72 people who lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire. We must fight for justice, and renew our commitment to ensuring everyone has a safe, secure home.

Liberal Democrats in administration are working hard to give power back to you. We will create Community Councils - so that local decisions can be made by local people.

Southwark Green Party and Southwark Liberal Democrats intend to form Joint Administration www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/news/article...

We will continue to be at the whim of volatile global markets, dictators like Putin and warmongers like Trump until we completely break the link between electricity and gas prices. Liberal Democrats have a plan to do this and a fully costed package to halve energy bills in the next decade.

Had a busy day at work? Only just got home? Haven't had a chance to vote yet? Fret not! Polls close at 10pm. You still have a chance to fix Southwark by using ALL your votes for the Liberal Democrats.

In Southwark, diversity is our strength. Liberal Democrats will always celebrate our incredible diverse communities!

Too many people are trapped in leasehold - with rising service charges, ground rent, and little say over their own homes. Labour are being too timid and too slow to abolish this outdated, feudal system. Liberal Democrats want to go further, faster, & will take local action where they can.

Southwark has lost 2,500 homes to right to buy since the 80s. With a waiting list at 22,000 households, we need to be able to hold on to our council housing. Liberal Democrats are firm - we must end right to buy.

The Bermondsey Square Jazz Days were an iconic part of Bermondsey's social calendar - but Labour councillors have refused to fund it. Liberal Democrats will support these vital community cultural events! On 7th May, vote Lib Dem to fix Southwark. youtube.com/shorts/7qnyk...

Do you remember when Simon Hughes was our MP in Bermondsey? He helped so many people, and they still bring it up today when you knock on their doors. We also had a better run council when the Lib Dems were in charge. We've done it before, and we can do it again. youtube.com/shorts/vTQLn...

Do you remember when Simon was an MP?

Liberal Democrats want to keep the freedom pass, protect local bus routes, and make council services easier to access. Don't believe Labour lies - vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May to fix Southwark.

New figures show that 61% of households are placed in temporary accommodation outside of Southwark. That means that some of the most vulnerable people torn away from family, work, school, and support networks. This is the consequence of Labour's housing crisis.

Time's up for Labour. More people are realising what's at stake in May's local elections, with politics expert Sam Freedman and LondonCentric predicting that Labour will lose their majority on Southwark Council. The Lib Dems are ready to fix Southwark!

Southwark Liberal Democrats are working hard to Fix Southwark. We're the only ones who can challenge Labour here after years of let down locally and nationally - and Ed Davey agrees!

Very excited to have been joined by Sir Ed Davey in Southwark - the momentum is behind us to win against Labour!

The first results have started coming back from the first survey of council homes in almost 16 years - and it's shown that thousands of homes aren't meeting bare minimum standards of safety and state of repair. Liberal Democrats would overhaul Labour's rotten housing department

April Fools' Day may be over - but the fun isn't. How many puns can Cllr Adam Hood make in Surrey Docks make in less than one minute?🤔

Liberal Democrats will freeze council tax for the poorest households, and expand the cost of living fund. Southwark Labour, and the Labour Mayor of London, have increased council tax every single year.

Last year, Southwark Labour approved Borough Triangle whilst it offered only 17% genuinely affordable housing. The developer has now announced it'll be even lower - just 10% affordable. Liberal Democrats said it wasn't good enough then, and now it's even worse.

Labour have overseen a housing crisis that's left 22,000 households on the social housing waiting list, and forcing families to move out, with seven schools closing in the last few years. In 15 out of 23 wards - zero council homes have been started by Southwark Labour.
