Like many succesful campaigns - so many different people involved, so many moving parts - we're glad to have played ours
The toilet has landed at Morden Station! So many people campaigned for this for so long, including @MertonLibDems - absolutely delighted we've finally got one. Now for more accessible toilets, more accessible stations and a better #London for everyone! Let's go!

I spoke to @BBCLondonNews about the impact of losing public access to both of our local police stations in Merton in two weeks’ time. Residents are rightly concerned about what this means for community safety & trust in policing.

The Conservative leader in the London Assembly, Susan Hall, appears to agree with Jim Ratcliffe's nonsense that the UK has been 'colonised by immigrants'. If the Conservatives want to appeal to London - it's time they threw Susan Hall out of their party.

I asked the Met Police Commissioner why police front counters aren’t viewed as central to neighbourhood policing, and whether he’s discussed sharing premises with Merton Council to keep officers visible & accessible in the community.

It was good to sit down with Sangeeta, the Postmistress at Wimbledon Post Office, to discuss the imminent closure. I know many of my constituents are understandably concerned about losing this service. We’re now contacting the council to explore options, including a new site.

Last week we met Tesco managers and the Metropolitan Police to discuss “car cruising” is the Tesco car park. Concerns were raised about noise, risk of property damage and injuries that could be caused. Potential solutions were discussed that could help deter future incidents.

Liberal Democrat Leader of the Council Barry Lewis said “This is a hugely significant moment for the UK life-science sector. The approval for the next stage of the London Cancer Hub cements Sutton as a leading global destination for cancer drug discovery. https://t.co/kqXrSS8TmW

The project will create thousands of local jobs and make Sutton a hub for world leading cancer research.

Out in South Wimbledon today the conversations included Trump, Morgan McSweeney(!), traffic on Quicks Rd, street cleaning and pavement repairs! Only one family was keen to vote Labour. As the resident said - "sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad" - ringing endorsement!
Today there are teams out speaking to residents in South Wimbledon and Village, councillors' drop-in, in Wimbledon Park, out in Morden and litter picking in Raynes Park
