Fantastic news & huge congrats to staff & @MertonLabour - a well-run Labour Council

@Siobhain_Mc We know how vital local banking is for older residents, small businesses, and anyone who relies on cash or in-person support. Together, we can push for a fair outcome and make sure Mitcham gets the services it needs. 🌹

Support the campaign: 🚌 Take the 270 bus from Mitcham Fair Green (Stop D) to Tooting Broadway Station (Stop H) between 9:30am and 3:30pm Monday to Friday. ⏱️ Time your journey. ✉️ Send your journey times to @Siobhain_Mc at mcdonaghs@parliament.uk or 020 7219 4678.

To qualify for a hub we need to prove that the nearest bank (Tooting) is 15+ minutes from Mitcham by public transport. The timetable currently state it’s 14 minutes, but we know that's not an accurate reflection. That’s why we need your help! 👇

🚨 Join @Siobhain_Mc campaign to keep banking services in Mitcham 🚨 The last bank in Mitcham - Lloyds Bank - is closing in January. With your help, we can secure a banking hub to replace it and ensure Mitcham residents aren’t left behind.

Can never say congratulations enough to our incredible Children’s Services team. Their dedication, care and leadership continue to make our borough one of the best places for children and young people to grow up. Truly proud to work with such passionate people every day. #Merton
