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.

Cllr Watson explains Southwark’s new Private Rental Sector Enforcement Policy in under 60 seconds! Your quick fire guide to how your Council will better protect private renters 👀

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.

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 Labour are being too timid and too slow to abolish this outdated, feudal system.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.

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.

Local councillors spoke against the application at the time, and have now written to the council asking for this new application of 10% affordable homes to be rejected. www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/news/article...

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.

Last night we gave Southwark Labour the opportunity to stand up for Southwark residents, and call for Keir Starmer to go. They decided to back this failing government. Only Liberal Democrats can stand up to this Labour government that has lost its way.

Tonight is the FINAL council assembly before the local elections. We will be putting the record straight about how Labour have failed Southwark - and putting forward our positive plan to Fix Southwark.

In a huge win for our Dulwich Village Lib Dem team - a feasibility study into upgrading North Dulwich station will now be funded. We've consistently campaigned on this - but when given the opportunity, Labour councillors voted against this TWICE.

Phone snatching is an epidemic across London - but Southwark hosts some of the worst hotspots in the capital. Liberal Democrats have a plan to tackle crime and ASB in Southwark - double community safety wardens, invest in CCTV, and give our young people more opportunities.

After 16 years of Labour let down, it's time for change. This is our manifesto for 2026: this is How To Fix Southwark.

Southwark's social housing waiting list now stands at 22,755 households. This is a direct result of Labour's housing failure We would overhaul Labour's rotten housing department, and roll out one stop shops so issues like disrepair and damp and mould can be fixed quickly.

Labour shamefully rejected our alternative budget last night - they're more focused on political games than delivering on residents' priorities of the cost of living, crime, and council services. We had a fully costed plan to deliver those priorities - but Labour rejected it.

Tonight, Liberal Democrats will propose to slash wasteful spend to freeze council tax for the most vulnerable, abolish it entirely for those with terminal illnesses, and add £1 million to the council's cost of living fund. www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Half of calls made to Southwark's repairs line are not answered. One of our councillors - Cllr Graham Neale in Saint George's Ward - is a tenant and was recently on hold for hours trying to resolve an urgent repair.
